Thickness of Plate Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Thickness of Plate?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

t = 2 \cdot p \cdot \sqrt{\frac{f p}{F y}}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

t = 2 \cdot 40mm \cdot \sqrt{\frac{10MPa}{250MPa}}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

t = 2 \cdot 0.04m \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1E+7Pa}{2.5E+8Pa}}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

t = 2 \cdot 0.04 \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1E+7}{2.5E+8}}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

t = 0.016m

LAST Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

t = 16mm

Minimum Plate Thickness

Minimum Plate Thickness is the distance between the top and bottom surfaces of a flat, solid plate. This distance is typically measured in millimeters or inches.

Symbol: t

Measurement: LengthUnit: mm

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Minimum Plate Thickness

Limiting Size

Limiting Size is the larger value among 0.5(N -0.95d) and 0.5(B -0.80b), where N is the plate length, B is the minimum width of plate, d is the depth of column and b is the width of flange.

Symbol: p

Measurement: LengthUnit: mm

Note: Value can be positive or negative.

Formulas to find Limiting Size

Actual Bearing Pressure

Actual Bearing Pressure is the exact bearing capacity of the given structure, in simple words it is the ratio of the applied load to the contact area.

Symbol: f_p

Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Actual Bearing Pressure

Yield Stress of Steel

Yield Stress of Steel is the stress at which the material begins to deform plastically, meaning it will not return to its original shape when the applied force is removed.

Symbol: F_y

Measurement: StressUnit: MPa

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Yield Stress of Steel

sqrt

A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.

Syntax: sqrt(Number)

How to Evaluate Thickness of Plate?

Thickness of Plate evaluator uses Minimum Plate Thickness = 2*Limiting Size*sqrt(Actual Bearing Pressure/Yield Stress of Steel) to evaluate the Minimum Plate Thickness, The Thickness of Plate formula is defined as the parameters, width of plate and column, depth of column, length of plate, yield stress and bearing pressure. Minimum Plate Thickness is denoted by t symbol.

How to evaluate Thickness of Plate using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Thickness of Plate, enter Limiting Size (p), Actual Bearing Pressure (f_p) & Yield Stress of Steel (F_y) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Thickness of Plate

What is the formula to find Thickness of Plate?

The formula of Thickness of Plate is expressed as Minimum Plate Thickness = 2*Limiting Size*sqrt(Actual Bearing Pressure/Yield Stress of Steel). Here is an example- 8000 = 2*0.04*sqrt(10000000/250000000).

How to calculate Thickness of Plate?

With Limiting Size (p), Actual Bearing Pressure (f_p) & Yield Stress of Steel (F_y) we can find Thickness of Plate using the formula - Minimum Plate Thickness = 2*Limiting Size*sqrt(Actual Bearing Pressure/Yield Stress of Steel). This formula also uses Square Root (sqrt) function(s).

What are the other ways to Calculate Minimum Plate Thickness?

Here are the different ways to Calculate Minimum Plate Thickness-

Minimum Plate Thickness=Flange Thickness of H Shaped Columns*sqrt((3*Actual Bearing Pressure)/Allowable Bending Stress)

Can the Thickness of Plate be negative?

No, the Thickness of Plate, measured in Length cannot be negative.
