Abstract

The main goal of this paper is a solution of the problem of buckling and deflection. A circular porous plate with simply supported edge under radial uniform compression and uniformly distributed load (pressure) is considered. Mechanical properties of the isotropic porous material vary across the thickness of the plate. Middle plane of the plate is its symmetry plane. A field of displacements (geometric model of nonlinear hypothesis) is described. The principle of stationarity of the total potential energy allowed to get a system of differential equations that govern the plate stability. A critical load and a deflection are determined. The results obtained for porous plates are compared to homogeneous circular plates.
