Circular Plate Analysis Using Finite Element Method, Shyh-Rong Chiu
Theses
The ANSYS computer program is the application of finite element methods to large-scale engineering problems. In this work the ANSYS program has been employed to solve the circular plate under uniformly loaded with various boundary conditions as follows: (1) clamped along entire edge, (2) simply supported along entire edge, (3) clamped at several points along the boundary, (4) simply supported at several points along the boundary, and (5) simply supported 36 points with 4 points clamped..
The results obtained from the ANSYS program illustrated that the finite element method has no boundary conditions constraints and presents good approximations to the …
