An analytical solution of the annular plate on elastic foundation
D. G. Pavlou, N. V. Vlachakis and M. G. Pavlou

 
Abstract
    A new method for deriving analytical solution of the annular elastic plate on elastic foundation under axisymmetric loading is presented. The formulation is based on application of Hankel integral transforms and Bessel functions?properties in the corresponding boundary-value problem. A representative example is studied and the obtained solution is compared with published numerical results indicating excellent agreement.
 
Key Words
