  • Thickness of the plate: \(h=0.0005m\)

  • Plate radius: \(R=0.115m\)

1.2. Material properties#

The properties of the material constituting the plate are:

\(E=2.1{10}^{11}\mathrm{Pa}\)

Young’s module

\(\nu =0.3\)

Poisson’s ratio

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

Boundary conditions:

  • on the outline of the plate (point \(B\)): movement according to \(Y=0\) and rotation around \(Z=0\)

Loading: a uniformly distributed compression force \(F\) is applied to the external contour of the plate.

1.4. Initial conditions#

Not applicable.
