Stress Distribution in a Plate of Non-uniform Thickness, subject to Non-Uniformly Distributed Transverse Load : (Case of Axial Symmetry) II.

Abstract

We take a circular plate of external radius R, its thickness being non-uniform and varying according to the law : h=h0(R1-r)/R1, where R1>R. The transverse load acting on this plate is distributed by a linear law : p=p0(1+kr/R1). Stress distribution in such a plate of non-uniform thickness and subject to non-uniformly distributed transverse load, has been calculated and the result was shown as numerical tables and curves.
