Axisymmetric bending for thick laminated circular plate under a concentrated load

Based upon the fundamental equations of three dimensional elasticity, the state equation for axisymmetric bending of laminated transversely isotropic circular plate is established and the concentrated force on plate surface is expanded into Fourier_Bessel's series, therefore, an analytical solution for the problem is presented. Every fundamental equation of three dimensional elasticity can be exactly satisfied by the solution and all the independent elastic constants can be taken into account fully, furthermore, the continuity conditions between plies can also be satisfied.
