Hi, Thanks for the reply. I am attaching the geometry of the plate. It is not a parabolic cross section but a parabolic shaped plate. The moment of inertia would be a function of x (width of the plate is a function of x -- see attached) and I would like to obtain a deflection function as...

Hi, I am trying to obtain a relation for calculating the deflection of a parabolic plate of thickness (say 't') clamped at one end, with a concentrated load along the center line at the "apex" end. Any direct links for the formula? Thanks!
