This calculator computes the displacement of a simply-supported rectangular plate under a uniformly distributed load.

Inputs
Loading:	Uniform loading p =   Pa kPa MPa GPa psi ksi lbf/ft^2 kgf/cm^2 atm bar mmHg inHg ftH2O
Geometry:	Width Lx =     km m cm mm micron mi yd ft in mil  Length Ly =    Thickness h =     km m cm mm micron mi yd ft in mil
Material:	Young's modulus E =     Pa kPa MPa GPa psi ksi lbf/ft^2 kgf/cm^2 atm bar mmHg inHg ftH2O  Poisson's ratio =
Output:	Unit of displacement w =   km m cm mm micron mi yd ft in mil  Unit of stress =   Pa kPa MPa GPa psi ksi lbf/ft^2 kgf/cm^2 atm bar mmHg inHg ftH2O  Terms in x direction (m) =   1 2 4 8 16 32  Terms in y direction (n) =   1 2 4 8 16 32

w_max = w(l_x/2, l_y/2) = 0.0172988270109 mm 0.0173 mm

The above displacement is based on the first 2 2 = 4 terms of the series solution.

_max = 0.175966540277 MPa 0.176 MPa

The above calculation is based on the first 2 2 = 4 terms of the series solution.
