nvn, PS to prior post. I am only interested in a point load deflection where the point load is at the center of the dome on the convex side towards the dome. Thanks.

nvn, Here is the data: Material 1070 steel nu = 0.29 r = 22.08 inches t = 4.5mm thick phi = 21.24 degrees edge support = free to rotate, there will be some lateral restraint for my application but for calc purposes say no restraint, and complete vertical restraint (vertical meaning in the...

I am looking for a formula to give me the deflection of a dome if all dome perameters are known from a point load at the center of the dome towards the dome on the convex side. I do not have the Roark book so I need the actual formula, not just a reference.
