Hydraulic Manifold Design Issues

[Jared-OSU]

Hello

I have a very general question about hydraulic manifold design. The drilled and ported variety SAE variety. I'm wanting to use Timoshenko's Theory of Plate Design as a design guide for determining how much bending will occur when the hydraulic pressure starts to press up on the manifold for determining the correct o-ring diameter to compensate. This manifold will bolt on to another manifold.

Thanks

So what is the question?
