Plate Deflection Equation Calculator

Plate deflection is a bending stress and applied loads equilibrium equation.The formula is given by:

Where:

• $w$ is the maximum deflection at the center of the plate.
• $q$ is the uniform load acting on the plate.
• $a$ is the length of one side of the plate.
• $D$ is the flexural rigidity of the plate, which is dependent on the material properties and plate geometry.
