    Flat Plate Bending when submerged

    Thanks for quick replies so far. The 3 supported edges (bottom and sides) will be supported along their entire length and will be bolted (i.e. prevented from moving). The water will only come up to 1150mm of the entire 2000mm height of the plate. I will check out the moody rectangular plates...
