Deflection Calculation of an Aluminum Plate
Deflection Calculation of an Aluminum Plate
(OP)
I am trying to calculate the deflection of 5mm thick plate made of 6061-T6 aluminium. I would like to calculate the deflection with a center load and with distributed load. The plate is secured along its length with several bolts on each side. The plate is 300 mm long by 200 mm wide. Can anyone supply me with the necessary equations?
Thanks
Thanks
