Boundary conditions Along all edges Simply supported
Loads On the entire surface p=0.7799kN/m^2
Mesh Maximum element size 0.10m
Minimum element size 0.00m

Independent reference results

Open handcalculations

    \[D=\frac{E \cdot e^3}{12(1-\upsilon ^2)}=\frac{210 000N/mm^2 \cdot (0,01m)^3}{12(1-0,3^2)}=19,231kNm\]

From Timoshenko: \alpha=0,00406

    \[\delta_y=\frac{\alpha \cdot p \cdot z^{4}}{64 \cdot D}=\frac{0,00406 \cdot 0.7799kN/m^2 \cdot (1m)^{4}}{64 \cdot 19,231kNm} = 0,165mm\]
