Effect of transverse shear and rotatory inertia on the forced axisymmetric response of linearly tapered circular plates
The forced axisymmetric response of linearly tapered circular plates, based on the shear theory, is analyzed by the eigenfunction method. Clamped and simply supported plates subjected to constant and half-sine pulse loads, uniformly distributed over a symmetric portion of the plate, are solved as example problems. Numerical results computed for transverse deflection and radial stress of the plate are compared with the corresponding results of classical theory.
