ANALYSIS OF COMBINED DISKS WITH PIECEWISE THICKNESS

The combined constructions subjected to an action of expanding loads and consisting of separate sections are examined. Each of the mentioned sections has its own rigidity. These parts may be made from the same or from the various materials. The materials can be anisotropic or isotropic, homogeneous or inhomogeneous. The constructions under study have the round scheme and they are considered as circular disks with piecewise thickness. In the places of the separate parts conjugation the disks’ thickness can be discontinuous or continuous. The analytical approach is used. The solutions are obtained in closed form and expressed in terms of Legendre functions, Legendre, Gegenbauer and Laguerre polynomials
