METHOD OF MEASURING LOAD-CARRYING ABILITY OF ROUND PLATES HAVING RADIALLY VARIABLE STIFFNESS

摘要

FIELD: test equipment. ^ SUBSTANCE: round model-plate is made to meet conditions of physical-mechanic similarity. Model is fixed at supports corresponding to specified boundary conditions. The model is subsequently loaded with step-by-step growing load till breaking. Thickness of model-plate is permanent, and load-carrying ability is determined analytically by using specific relation. ^ EFFECT: reduced labor input.
