Roark’s Formulas for Stress and Strain 8th Ed: Chapter: 11

General plate functions and constants for solid and annular circular plates
Notation:
W = total applied load (force); 4th. Ed. Page 216
w = unit line load (force per unit of circumferential length); 5th. Ed. Page
q = load per unit area; 6th. Ed. Page
Mo = unit applied line moment loading (force-length per unit of circumferential length); 7th. Ed. Page 457
qo = externally applied change in radial slope (radians); 8th. Ed. Page 471
yo = externally applied radial step in the vertical deflection (length);
y = vertical deflection of plate (length)
q = radial slope of plate;
Mr = unit radial bending moment;
Mt = unit tangential bending moment;
Q = unit shear force (force per unit of circumferential length);
E = modulus of elasticity (force per unit area);
v = Poisson’s ratio;
g = temperature coefficient of expansion (unit strain per degree);
a = outer radius; b = inner radius for annular plate;
t = plate thickness;
r = radial location of quantity being evaluated;
ro = radial location of unit line loading or start of a distributed load.
F1 to F9 and G1 to G19 are the several functions of the radial location r.
C1 to C9 are plate constants dependent upon the ratio a/b.
L1 to L19 are loading constants dependent upon the ratio a/ro.
When used as subscripts, r and t refer to radial and tangential directions, respectively.

When used as subscripts, a, b, and o refer to an evaluation of the quantity subscripted at the outer edge, inner edge, and the position of the loading or start of distributed
loading, respectively.

When used as a subscript, c refers to an evaluation of the quantity subscripted at the center of the plate.

Positive signs are associated with the several quantities in the following manner: Deflections y and yo are positive upward; slopes q and qo are positive when the
deflection y increases positively as r increases;

419327323.xlsx\P-471
 Page 7 of 25

moments Mr , Mt, and Mo are positive when creating compression on the top surface;

and the shear force Q is positive when acting upward on the inner edge of a given annular section.

Note: Bending stresses can be found from the moments Mr and Mr by the expression σ = 6M/t 2. The plate constant D = Et3/12(1 - v2).

The singularity function brackets < > indicate that the expression contained within the brackets must be equated to zero unless r > ro, after which they are treated as
any other brackets.

Note that Qb, Qa, Mrb, and Mra are reactions, not loads.
They exist only when necessary edge restraints are provided.
