Classical Plate Equation Notes

Classical Plate Equation Notes   The small transverse (out-of-plane) displacement w of a thin plate is governed by the Classical Plate Equation,   where p is the distributed load (force per unit area) acting in the same direction as z (and w), and D is the bending/flexual rigidity of the plate defined as follows,   in which E is the Young’s modulus,  is the Poisson’s ratio of the plate material, … Read more

Biot Savart Law Notes

Biot Savart Law Notes The magnetic equivalent of Coulomb’s law is the Biot-Savart law for the magnetic field produced by a short segment of wire, , carrying current I: where the direction of  is in the direction of the current and where the vector  points from the short segment of current to the observation point where we are to compute the … Read more
