Bending of Curvilinear and Rectilinear Polygonal Plates Symmetrically Loaded Over a Concentric Circle
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
Complex variable methods are applied to obtain exact solutions for the complex potentials and deflexions of thin isotropic slabs bounded by regular curvilinear polygonal contours with n sides and subject to symmetrical loading distributed over a concentric circle. The supported boundary is either clamped or has equal boundary cross-couples. The plates taken in the z-plane are conformally mapped on the unit circle in the ζ-plane by the mapping function . Polynomial approximations to the Schwarz—Christoffel transformations are then used to discuss the bending of clamped and simply supported rectilinear plates symmetrically loaded over a concentric circle or acted upon by a central point load.
