Hello to All

I am Mrugesh Dhorje, doing my MS in Mechanical Engg. at Texas Tech University,
Lubbock, Texas.

I am trying to model a pressure sensor MEMS membrane (both circular and
Rectangular shape) in Ansys Educational version.

I would like to know if there is any analytical formulation relating the applied
pressure with the deflection so that I can compare whether the model is
converging or not.

Also can I know some reference to analytical calculation of stresses with
applied pressure once the membrane is deflected (in elastic and also in plastic
region)

Initially I searched memsnet for such solutions, but I found that the references
are pretty old and after that there have been many recent developments in the
theories.

Thanking you in anticipation.
