Analysis of orthotropic circular disks and rings under diametrical loadings

Tsutsumi T, Hirashima K

Abstract

Very few studies on orthotropic circular disks or rings under diametrical loadings are conducted because of difficulties in treatment. This paper shows analytical solutions and gives the distributions of stresses and displacements by using Lekhnitskii\'s complex variable method. Several numerical results are shown by graphical representation.

Key Words
