Summary

For a given plate and loading the optimum supporting ring radius is shown to be approximately 0·677a, there being a slight variation with Poisson’s ratio.

The “edge square” condition, i.e. zero slope at the circumference of the plate, is also investigated. It is satisfied by a ring radius of , a result which is independent of Poisson’s ratio.

Macaulay’s brackets are used in the analysis as an example of their value in circular plate problems.
