In the bending of symmetrically loaded circular plates of brittle material, e.g. glass, which are supported between flexible gaskets at the periphery, large errors can result in estimating the stresses and deflections in the plate if it is assumed that the plate is simply supported. This paper uses the exact numerical solution, given elsewhere, in comparing the exact stresses and deflections with those obtained by assuming simply supported edges. It is shown that gasket width and stiffness are important in controlling the maximum stress. The deviation from an assumption of simple support is greatest when the plate is thin.
