In order to calculate the maximum deflection I'm assuming you use the Ky values in the table for this particular case and use the formula y=Ky*(w*a^3)/D, but for this case I'm in between the k values given, do you know of another place that has a table of more k values or where I might find a...

Thanks so much, that makes sense.

Sorry I mean Qa gets negative at some point as r0 approaches a. Also my w= 6162 lbs/in giving me a Qb of ~7213 and a Qa of ~ -1233

That is exactly what I used, However here is my problem. w is a positive number, and for constants come out to a number that is greater than one. Therefore Qb is greater than w, which makes sense as it is on a smaller radius than w. However, this means that Qb*(b/a)-w*(ro/a) makes Qa a...

normal to the plate

Hi Everyone, I am having a problem finding the shear stresses in an annular plate. The problem is as follows. I have an annular plate with outer radius a, inner radius b. Outer and inner edges are fixed. I also have an annular line load at radius r. I am trying to calculate the shear...
