Comparison Between Two Solutions Based on the Relationship of Load-deflection Character of a Large Deflection Rubber Circular Plate

摘要

The rubber circular plate is considered as a kind of membrane. Based on the character that there exists no bending moment inside a membrane, the geometric behavior of the rubber circular plate in expanding state was described with the aid of a group of mathematic method. The relationship between deflection and load was attained by means of calculating stress and strain inside the curved surface of rubber plate. Meantime, based on Hencky method, the relationship between deflection and load was attained and considered as the Hencky solution. The different results given rise by the two different resolving methods were compared. The deviation results from the Hencky method was discussed, and a kind of correcting method was put forward.
