By virtue of the general solution of dynamic elasticity equations for transverse isotropy as wellas the variable separation method,three-dimensional exact solutions of circular plates are obtained under twotypes of boundary conditions.The solutions can consider both axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric cases.So-lutions based on the classical plate theory and Mindlin plate theory are also presented under the correspondingboundary conditions.Numerical results are finally presented and comparisons between the three theories aremade.
