Axisymmetric laminate composite annular plate

A solution is proposed for an axisymmetric laminate composite annular plate under uniform loading supported by different kinds of supports. The solved plates have constant stiffness. The analytical method is based on relations from Kirchhoff's theory of thin plates in polar coordinate system. Quantities such as deflection, radial and tangential moments and radial forces for composite annular plates with different supports are calculated, compared and plotted in the common graph for each variable quantity. All plates are solved in the MATLAB program.
