Axisymmetric bending for thick laminated circular plate under a concentrated load
For a multiple-ply rotational orthotropic, transversely isotropic plate the authors derive three-dimensional elasticity equations. Solutions are obtained by expanding the concentrated load at the plate centre into Fourier-Bessel series. Each ply is divided into a sufficient number of layers, thin enough so that the distribution of radial displacements can be assumed to depend linearly on the axial co-ordinate.
