TABLE 11.4 Formulas for flat plates with straight boundaries and constant thickness
NOTATION: The notation for Table 11.2 applies with the following modifications: a and b refer to plate dimensions, and when used as subscripts for stress, they refer to the stresses in directions
parallel to the sides a and b, respectively. s is a bending stress which is positive when tensile on the bottom and compressive on the top if loadings are considered vertically downward. R is the
reaction force per unit length normal to the plate surface exerted by the boundary support on the edge of the plate. r0o is the equivalent radius of contact for a load concentrated on a very small area
