A rectangular steel plate (E = 200 GPa, v = 0.29, and Y = 280 MPa) has a length of 2 m, width of 1 m, and fixed edges. The plate is subjected to a uniform pressure p = 270 kPa. Assume that the design pressure for the plate is limited by the maximum stress in the plate; this would be the case for fatigue loading, for instance. For a working stress limit σw = Y/2, determine the required plate thickness and maximum deflection.
