LARGE DEFLECTION OF A CIRCULAR PLATE WITH A CIRCULAR HOLE AT THE CENTER*

Ⅰ.INTRODUCTION The equations for the large deflection of thin plates established by Th. von Karman, are well known for many years. But so far only a few problems have been studied with numerical certainty. S. Way was the first to apply these equations to the problem of a clamped plate under uniform pressure by the method of power series. After this, S. Levy got
