The periphery deflection in an annular plate clamped along its inner edge and loaded at its outer boundary by a transverse concentrated force are studied via a series solution. The corrected expressions for the series coefficients are presented. The series convergence is accelerated via a simple technique. Approximate methods are proposed to account for the compliant clamp and shear strain effects on the plate deflections, and they are validated against simplified theoretical models.
