Abstract

This paper presents an original approach through Transfer-Matrix Method applied for the calculus of the continuous circular plate embedded at the exterior circumference, charged with asymmetrical uniform load on the entire upper surface of the plate. Continuous circular plates are elements often found in practice, in the machine building, aeronautics, chemical industries (the bottoms of chemical reactors), and in petrochemical, mechanical, robotic, medical, military, nuclear, and aerospace industries. The calculus of continuous circular plates is a special problem both from the point of view of the theory of elasticity and from the point of view of the mathematical approach. The results obtained with Transfer-Matrix Method were compared and validated with those obtained from classical analytical calculation, the Theory of Elasticity. Transfer-Matrix Method is an elegant method and relatively easy to program. In future research, we want to validate our results with those given by the Finite Elements Method and those measured experimentally.
