Abstract

This paper presents exact solutions for nonlinear large deflection of thin circular membrane loaded by a central point force using blister test with two types of boundary conditions and with or without residual stress cases. A comparison with existing solutions is presented, and a geometrically nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) is conducted to verify our analytical solutions.
