Equilateral Triangle Plate
Uniform Loading small circle of radius ro at x = 0; z = 0 |
Stress at x = 0, z = 0
Where:
if ro < 0.5t
r'o = ro if ro ≥ 0.5t
Deflection at x = 0, z = 0
Where:
W = Total applied load (force) (lbs)
v = Poisson’s ratio (assumed to be 0.3)
E = Modulus of Elasticity (lb/in2)
a = Width of plate (in)
D = Diameter load area (in)
ro = radius load area (in)
r'o = equivalent radius of contact for load concentrated in small area (in)
σ = stress, (lbs/in2)
y = Deflection (in)
