Extract

Expressions are obtained for the radial and tangential bending moments in a circular plate under the combined action of (a) a lateral load concentrated on the circumference of a circle and an end tension or compression, and (b) a uniformly distributed lateral load, having a diameter less than the diameter of the plate, and an end tension or compression. For both types of loading, solutions are obtained for plates which are simply-supported and for plates with an arbitrary end rotation.

In addition, the following limiting cases are considered: (i) concentrated lateral load with end tension or compression, and (ii) an infinite plate under the simultaneous action of an end tension and a lateral load concentrated on the circumference of a circle of finite diameter.
