a/b, aob
Loading
Uniform loading pressure over entire plate, q (N/mm^2)
Total load applied to the plate, W (N)
Uniform over small concentric circle of ro, qo (N/mm^2)
Load application radius, ro (mm)
Outer radius used in calculation, ro_prime (mm)
Total load applied to center of plate, Wo (N)
Simply supported outer boundary:
Distributed load:
Center displacement, dc (mm)
Bending stress at center (N/mm^2)
Reaction load at center of long side (N/mm)
Centrally applied concentrated load:
Center displacement, fdc (mm)
Bending stress at center (N/mm^2)
