FLAT PLATES.--The analysis of the stresses in flat plates supported or fixed at their edges is extremely difficult. The following formulas by Grashof may be used: The coefficient of lateral contraction is taken as. For a full discussion of these formulas based on Grashof's Theorie Der Elasticitat und Festigkcit see Lanza's Applied Mechanics. i. Circular plate of radius r and thickness t, supported around its perimeter and loaded with w per square inch.--Let / = maximum fiber stress, v--maximum deflection, and E = modulus of elasticity, Fig. 14.

Rectangular plate of length a breadth b, and thickness t, built in or fixed at the edges and The strength of plates simply supported on the edges is about J the strength of plates fixed. Plates riveted or bolted around the edges may be considered as fixed. For a diagram giving the safe loads on flat plates, see the author's The Design of Walls, Bins and Grain Elevators, also see Part II. Buckle Plates.--Buckle plates are made by dishing flat plates as in Table 59, Part II. The width of the buckle W, or length L, varies from 2 ft. 6 in. to 5 ft. 6 in. The buckles may be turned with the greater dimension in either direction of the plate.
