Dear colleages,
I am looking for an analytical solution to calculate the deflection
and the stress/strain behaviour of a clamped circular/square or
rectangular membrane. It seems there is no complete analytical
model for this published (especially in the rectangular case) and
everybody uses FEM instead.
I am looking for a plug-in solution able to do the following (yes,
I am optimistic ..) :
+ any geometry/aspect ratio (rectangular case) can be calculated
+ deflections bigger than membrane thickness are valid
+ deflection and strain/stress values as function of position
Any hint appreciated. Please ... don't just mention Timoshenko.
Thanks,
Werner.
