Steel plate analysis for point load question
Steel plate analysis for point load question
(OP)
I am looking for a design reference for checking a steel plate for bending due to a point load in the center. The simplest way to explain what I'm looking for would be to consider a steel plate welded all around to the end of an HSS tube. Then put a bolt through the middle with a point load.
Does anyone know of a good design reference for a simplified analysis for this condition? I don't have access to FEA computer software.

That was helpful. Thanks eng-tips.

If you want an elastic analysis, consult "Theory of Plates and Shells" by Timoshenko and Woinosky-Krieger.
