  2. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    The typical thickness to width ratio of a plate structure is less than 0.1. [citation needed] A plate theory takes advantage of this disparity in length scale to reduce the full three-dimensional solid mechanics problem to a two-dimensional problem. The aim of plate theory is to calculate the deformation and stresses in a plate subjected to loads.

  3. Bending of plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_of_plates

    In the Kirchhoff–Love plate theory for plates the governing equations are [1], = and , = In expanded form, + = ; + = and + + = where () is an applied transverse load per unit area, the thickness of the plate is =, the stresses are , and

  4. Flexural rigidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_rigidity

    The plate elastic thickness (usually referred to as effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere). The elastic properties of the plate; The applied load or force; As flexural rigidity of the plate is determined by the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and cube of the plate's elastic thickness, it is a governing factor in both (1) and (2).

  5. Vibration of plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_of_plates

    Vibration mode of a clamped square plate. The vibration of plates is a special case of the more general problem of mechanical vibrations.The equations governing the motion of plates are simpler than those for general three-dimensional objects because one of the dimensions of a plate is much smaller than the other two.

  6. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    In most of the world, sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters. In the U.S., the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional, non-linear measure known as its gauge. The larger the gauge number, the thinner the metal. Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge.

  7. HY-80 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HY-80

    Permit class USS Plunger on the building ways at Mare Island. HY-80 is a high-tensile, high yield strength, low alloy steel.It was developed for use in naval applications, specifically the development of pressure hulls for the US nuclear submarine program and is still currently used in many naval applications.

  8. Flitch beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flitch_beam

    The method for calculating the size of a flitch beam to be used in construction is straightforward, using the transformed-section method. The steel plate is treated as an equally stiff piece of wood, with its width modified by the ratio of their moduli of elasticity. This allows the deflection of the entire beam to be calculated as if it were ...

  9. Plate (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_(structure)

    A plate is a structural element which is characterized by a three-dimensional solid whose thickness is very small when compared with other dimensions. [1]The effects of the loads that are expected to be applied on it only generate stresses whose resultants are, in practical terms, exclusively normal to the element's thickness.
