A circular plate of radius r and thickness t with clamped edges is subjected to a uniform load q that covers the entire plate. The plate material has a Poisson's ratio of 0.3 and a Young's modulus of E. The central deflection parameter, 
, is plotted against the load parameter, 
, in Figure (2.7) and found to agree with the analytical solution presented in [270]. The magnitude of the central deflection was significantly reduced when large deflection effects were included.
