Fouries Series Solution For Bending of a Circular Thin plate with Free Edges on Elastic Foundation Loaded by an Eccentric Concentrated Force

In this paper, the bending problem of a circular plate with free edges on Winkler foundation loaded by an eccentric concentrated force is solved by using the Fourier—Bessel series with additional terms. The solution is derived directly from the foundamented differential eguation of classical thin plate theory and corre tponding boundary conditions. The expression of deflection it obtained in an analytical form, Numerical results are also given in this Paper.
