Summary

A theoretical solution is presented for the problem of the clamped circular plate loaded in uniform compression. The solution employs a numerical method programmed for a digital computer. Instead of solving the classical von Kármán large deflection equations, a step-by-step integration of the elastic differential equations of equilibrium is carried out until suitable boundary conditions are attained. The method is an extension of one developed earlier to explain the behaviour of the simply-supported plate.
