    membrane stress

    Hi emil, The thing is that like wlw32 I'm looking at concentrated loads or loads applied in small circular/rectangular regions on the middle of the steel membrane. These loads produce large deflections. So far I've been at a loss in trying to track down theoretical sources that can provide...

    membrane stress

    Forgot to mention that I'm considering either simply-supported or clamed edges for the membrane. Thanks.

    membrane stress

    I am looking into the same situation - concentrated loads on membranes (stainless steel, 1000mm x 2000mm x 1.5mm). I'm looking for approximate solutions at this stadge, so does Wang & Salmon's text provide some approx. formulae for different cases of conc. loading? Or would one have no choice...
