Abstract

The circular plate has been used widely as an important structural element in many branches of engineering. Reliable prediction of the load-bearing capacity of circular plates is crucial for optimum structural design. The load-bearing capacity of circular plates by using the Tresca yield criterion and Huber-von Mises criterion has been given by (1954), (1954), and (1994), et al. The design of circular plates based on the plastic limit load was discussed by (1960). Nine cases including a simply supported circular plate, clamped circular plate, annular plate, a built-in at inner edge and simply supported along the outer edge plate, shearing force along the outer edge and built-in at the inner edge, etc. were studied (Hu, 1960). A systematical summary was given by (1960), (1959); (1963), (1972), (1981), (1985) and (1997).
