Notes: In the present work the authors have developed a finite difference method of analysis for any circular plate with any kind of loading on semi-infinite elastic foundations. No assumption regarding the contact pressure distribution has been made. The equations have been developed in non-dimensional form and also the results have been obtained in non-dimensional form. These results have been compared with the available experimental results and the agreement between them is found to be much better than that of the previous works. The same method with slight modification can be applied for Winkler type foundations and problems of circular plates with varying thickness.

Notes: Abstract Only a few methods have been reported in the recent literature for measuring the forces under human feet in normal and abnormal cases. The purpose of the present investigation was to study whether the static weight distribution under feet on the parafrontal plane can be used as a measure of lower extremity disability by using a system of load cells as transducers. Three postpolio cases, three lower extremity amputees and three Perthes disease victims constituted the test group and five normal healthy adult males with sedentary habits formed the control group in this preliminary study. Normalised weight distribution under the right and left foot of each test group subject has been compared with the mean and s.d. of the control group. The test group subjects showed different degrees of variation from the control group in the static-weight-distribution pattern according to their disability.
