Load calculations for the square plate
Load calculations for the square plate
(OP)
Hi, I have to calculate strength( stresses) on a square steel plate (24" x24") with four supports on the corners and hole(4") in the middle. Plate is 3" thick. Laod applied is 500k lbs.

There is no hole there but as the hole is small and the center of the plate is uniformly bent in two directions, you can use the formula provided by Roark for that condition: it tells you that the maximum stress around the hole is two times the stress without a hole.

Prex that link is really useful. I will look for the Roark formula.
