Abstract
In this paper, the problem of annular thick plates sustaining an axisymmetric load is treated using Reissner's theory of plates. The general solutions obtained here contain the corresponding solutions for the case of classical theory predictions in limiting case of above general solutions. In order to determine the significance of effect of the transverse normal stress in addition to the effect of shear deformation, the maximum stresses and deflections for the case of simply supported annular thick plates are numerically obtained and compared with the results of classical plate theory. The numerical results are summarized as technological data. Comparison of corrective value for shearing stress and lateral load with the known exact solution indicates the sufficient accuracy for practical use.
