Abstract
The governing equations for the elasto-plastic analysis of circular plates with intial deflections are presented. The solution of the equations using a finite difference implementation of the DR (Dynamic Relaxation) procedure is briefly discussed. Results, in graphical format, are presented for stocky and slender simply supported and clamped plates with/without initial deflections and subjected to combined uniform edge compression and transverse pressure. In particular, the effects of transverse pressure and plate slenderness on the response to edge compression are quantified, as also are the effects of initial deflections on the maximum edge compression. Edge compression - transverse pressure interaction curves are also presented for the elastoplastic collapse state and their use in design is illustrated via a simple numerical example.
