The problem of large deflection of a clamped circular plate under uniform pressure is studied by the method of successive approximation in terms of the parameter representing the ratio of the center deflection to the thickness. The tedious numerical computations, involved in Way's power series solution are thus avoided. The yielding condition at the edge checks very well with the experimental results given by McPherson, Ramberg and Levy. The method may be easily extended to any other boundary conditions and loading details.
