On limiting cases in the flexure of simply supported regular polygonal plates
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
Limiting solutions are derived for the flexure of simply supported many-sided regular polygons, as the number of sides is increased indefinitely. It is shown that these solutions are different from those for simply supported circular plates. For axisymmetric loading, circular plate solutions overestimate the deflexions and the moments by significant factors.
