Rotary Motion of an Annular Plate in an Elastic Layer

Abstract

The contact problem is examined of the effect of torque on an annular plate lying on an elastic layer. The practical analog of this problem is the problem of determining the tilt of a high-rise structure resulting from wind load. The problem is solved using the Ritts and orthogonal polynomial methods. Results are presented of calculations of annular plate rotation angles in response to torque.
