info:This program analyzes circular flat plates based upon the following assumptions
1. All plates are circular, have a constant thickness and are of a homogeneous, isotropic material.
2. The thickness is not more than 1/4 of the least transverse dimension
3. The maximum deflection is not greater than about 1/2 of the plate thickness
4. All forces (loads and reactions) are perpendicular to the plate surface
6. The plate remains in the elastic region (i.e. the maximum stress does not exceed the elastic limit)
7. The deflections given are based upon bending stresses only.
There is, some additional deflection due to shear that is not accounted for in this program.
Typically, this value is negligible. Care should be taken however with annular plates with a relatively large
inside diameter (b dimension), one or both edges fixed, and when plate thickness exceeds 1/6 of the radial
distance (a - b).
When all three of these conditions exist, actual deflections may be larger than those computed.
