Lets first start by saying that these plates will be used in hydro applications.
Depending on the plate type the edge constraint detail is different.
3 side support structures are fixed in all axis along the jambs and sill.
4 side support structures are simply supported at the edges.
We could...

I need to know if there is a formula for calculating the stress and deflection of a curved plate in 4 configurations. See diagrams below. All configurations will be subjected to non-uniform hydrostatic loading. Assume uniform radius throughout the plate.
Edges on 3 side designs are fixed no...
