Plate Bending

02 Jul 2011 (Updated 27 Dec 2011)

Bending of thin plate under uniform transverse pressure is solved using Finite Element Method

File Information
Description	A thin plate under uniform transverse pressure is considered with simply supported and clamped boundary conditions. Using Finite Element Method plate equations are solved. Pre-processing is done using a standard FEM software. Plate is dicretized Isoparametric four noded Q4 elements. The values obtained are compared with standard FEM software. The results are in perfect match.
