ON PLATES SEALING AN INCOMPRESSIBLE LIQUID.
Abstract
After a brief description of the circumstances which led to the investigation of the title problem and discussion of some related previous investigations, exact solutions are derived for a circular plate which seals an incompressible liquid, is clamped along the boundary and is subjected at an arbitrary point to a lateral concentrated force P. For the case when the plate is covered by a thin liquid layer the solution is obtained in closed form. When this liquid layer is absent, the solution is obtained as an infinite series. The paper concludes with a study of the range of the parameter (lambda a) for which the effort of buoyancy is negligible upon the deflections and stresses in the plate. (Author)
