  2. Bending of plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_of_plates

    The left half of the plate shows the deformed shape, while the right half shows the undeformed shape. This calculation was performed using Ansys. Bending of plates, or plate bending, refers to the deflection of a plate perpendicular to the plane of the plate under the action of external forces and moments.

  3. Gurney equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurney_equations

    Infinitely tamped sandwich - flat explosives layer of mass C, flyer plate of mass M, and infinitely heavy backing tamper When a flat layer of explosive is placed on a practically infinitely thick supporting surface, and topped with a flyer plate of material, the flyer plate will be accelerated as described by: [ 1 ]

  4. Bending - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending

    A structure is called a plate when it is flat and one of its dimensions is much smaller than the other two. There are several theories that attempt to describe the deformation and stress in a plate under applied loads two of which have been used widely. These are the Kirchhoff–Love theory of plates (also called classical plate theory)

  5. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    In continuum mechanics, plate theories are mathematical descriptions of the mechanics of flat plates that draw on the theory of beams. Plates are defined as plane structural elements with a small thickness compared to the planar dimensions. [1] The typical thickness to width ratio of a plate structure is less than 0.1.

  6. Surface plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plate

    A surface plate is a solid, flat plate used as the main horizontal reference plane for precision inspection, marking out (layout), and tooling setup. [1] The surface plate is often used as the baseline for all measurements to a workpiece, therefore one primary surface is finished extremely flat with tolerances below 11.5 μm or 0.0115 mm per ...

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    Sheet metal is metal formed into thin, flat pieces, usually by an industrial process. Thicknesses can vary significantly; extremely thin sheets are considered foil or leaf, and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are considered plate, such as plate steel, a class of structural steel. Sheet metal is available in flat pieces or coiled strips.
