This paper intends to study the large deflection problem of a circular thin plate with an edge clamped but sliding freely under the combined action of uniformly distributed load and centrally concentrated load by the Adomian decomposition method. If the uniformly distributed load is not decomposed, the parameters obtained by the Adomian decomposition method are the same as the perturbation solution studied by scholars before. If the uniformly distributed load is decomposed into a finite series, a new analysis solution can be obtained through the Adomian decomposition method. From the error comparisons between the new solution in this paper and the perturbation solution, one can see that the result in this paper is better. Finally, the internal stress and deflection are discussed through the graphics based on the new analysis method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
