Abstract
Circular membranes with fixed peripheral edges, subjected to arbitrary axisymmetric loading were analyzed. A single governing differential equation in terms of radial stress was used. This nonlinear governing equation was solved using the finite difference method in conjunction with Newton-Raphson method. Three loading cases, namely (1) uniformly loaded membrane, (2) a membrane with uniform load over an inner portion, and (3) a membrane with ring load, were analyzed. Calculated central displacement and the central and edge radial stresses for uniformly loaded membrane, agreed extremely well with the classical solution. © 1985.
