This Demonstration illustrates the approximate Navier solution for the bending and stress analysis of a simply supported Kirchhoff rectangular plate subject to a concentrated singular load applied at given coordinates. The deformation of the middle surface is represented on a 3D plot, colored according to its von Mises equivalent stress.
