WJ KARL,
Hi. When I was in graduate school at Auburn University in Auburn, AL USA, I
ran into the same problem. I did find the solution though. Being that that
was almost 10 years ago, I am not exactly sure where I found the
membrane/plate defletion equations, but I believe it was in one of 3 places:
old NASA studies (Auburn University was a repository for those), a
Mechanical Engineering text book on elastic structures, or a Civil
Engineering text book on elastic structures. I hope this helps. If you
find what you are looking for, please let me know.
Sincerely
