Calculating reaction force from plate recoil
Calculating reaction force from plate recoil
(OP)
Does anyone know how to calculate the recoil force from a plate that deflects under a point load?
i.e. if I have a plate that spans a gap and a point load is applied to the centre. When that force is removed and the plate wants to return to its equilibrium position how much will it continue past the equilibrium and how large a holding down force will the plate ends require?
And pointers would be greatly appreciated.

If theoretical, then there should be a closed form differential equation that describes the motion.
If real world, then it will probably require an empirical relation to account for all the simplifying assumptions like damping, elastic/plastic zone, friction, tempering, etc.
