The symmetrical bending of an elastic circular plate supported atK internal points

This paper treats the symmetrical bending of a uniformly loaded circular plate supported at k internal points. The boundary displacement and slope are expanded in Fourier seriesr. The method proposed by [6] is applied. As both the governing differential equation and boundary conditions are satisfied exactly, we therefore obtain the analytic expression of the transverse deflectional equation of the circular plate. This is an easy and effective methed.
