Extract

When a circular plate of constant thickness is simply supported on a concentric ring and is subjected to a uniform normal pressure, there is a radius for the supporting ring giving optimum bending stress conditions in the plate. Assuming the plate deflections are small, it is concluded that the required supporting ring radius varies between 70·1 and 73·0 per cent of the outside radius of the plate, depending on the value of Poisson's Ratio for the plate material.
