Linear and Nonlinear Deflection of an Infinitely long Plate

An infinitely long plate of width b and thickness t with clamped edges is subjected to uniform load q that covers the entire plate. The central deflection parameter, $W=\frac{w}{t}$, is plotted against the load parameter, $Q=\frac{12 q b^4 (1-\nu^2)}{E t^4}$, in Figure (2.8) and found to agree with the analytical solution presented in [270].
