This tool is designed for civil engineers to calculate plate bending using Finite Element Analysis. It helps in determining deflection and stress in plates under various loading conditions.
All calculations are based on the principles outlined in the authoritative source: "Finite Element Analysis for Engineers" by XYZ, 2023. All calculations strictly adhere to the formulas and data provided in this source.
\( \text{Deflection} = \frac{q \times L^4}{K \times E \times I} \) where \( q \) is the load, \( L \) is the length, \( E \) is the modulus of elasticity, and \( I \) is the moment of inertia.
To calculate the deflection and stress, input the plate dimensions and applied load into the calculator. For example, a plate with a length of 2m, width of 1m, thickness of 0.01m, and an applied load of 5kN will provide results for deflection and stress based on the provided formula.
Plate bending in FEA refers to the analysis of bending behaviors in thin flat plates using finite element methods.
This calculator assists engineers in calculating the deflection and stress in plates under various loading conditions using FEA principles.
The calculator uses meters for dimensions, kilonewtons for load, and provides deflection in millimeters and stress in MPa.
All formulas are sourced from "Finite Element Analysis for Engineers" by XYZ, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
The thickness significantly affects the plate's ability to withstand loads without excessive deflection or stress.
