Thin Plates and Shells - Theory, Analysis and Applications
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Circular plates are common in many structures such as nozzle covers, end closures in
pressure vessels, pump diaphragms, turbine disks, and bulkheads in submarines and
airplanes, etc. When circular plates are analyzed, it is convenient to express the
governing differential equation (2.24) in polar coordinates. This can be readily
accomplished by a coordinate transformation. An alternative approach based on
the procedure presented in Chapter 3 for rectangular plates to derive the basic
relationships for the lateral deflections of circular plates may be used also.
