Flat Plates Stress, Deflection Equations and Calculators: The follow web pages contain engineering design calculators that will determine the amount of deflection and stress a flat plate of known thickness will deflect under the specified load and distribution.

Many of the stress and deflection equations and calculators referenced from Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain. Please note that most of the calculators do require a premium membership for full functionality.

Flat plate behavior: The plate deflects. The middle surface (halfway between top and bottom surfaces) remains unstressed; at other points there are biaxial stresses in the plane of the plate. Straight lines in the plate that were originally vertical remain straight but become inclined; therefore the intensity of either principal stress at points on any such line is proportional to the distance from the middle surface, and the maximum stresses occur at the outer surfaces of the plate.

Finite Difference Method
Moments and Reactions for Rectangular Plates using the Finite Difference Method This book of monograph presents a series of tables containing computed data for use in the design of components of structures which can be idealized as rectangular plates or slabs. Typical examples are wall and footing panels of counterfort retaining walls. The tables provide the designer with a rapid and economical means of analyzing the structures at representative points. The data presented, as indicated in the accompanying figure on the frontispiece, were computed for fivl: sets of boundary conditions, nine ratios of lateral dimensions, and eleven loadings typical of those encountered in design.
