Stress & deflection of plates & beams
Stress & deflection of plates & beams
(OP)
Hi,
Is there any difference between beam & plate?Whether the stress & deflection calculation of beams differ from plate.

For plates, it is much more common to have issues with large deflections where the plate begins to act as a catenary with tension in the plate in addition to bending. Generally, this means stresses are lower and deflections are smaller than predicted by bending alone. This also assumes the end supports can resist the applied tension, which can be very large.
