Abstract

Exact expressions in infinite series are given for the small deflections, moments and shears in a thin isotropic circular plate subject to normal paraboloidal loading distributed over the area of a concentric ellipse and supported at the four corners of a concentric rectangle whose sides are parallel to the axes of the ellipse. Limiting cases are investigated. Numerical results are presented in the form of tables and graphs illustrating variation of the deflection, moments and shears along various radii in the first quadrant of the plate
