Also, see Flat and Corrugated Diaphragm Design Handbook, by Mario Di
Giovanni.

This only applies to membrane-based pressure sensors.  There is an
Russian/Israeli treatise which also deals with more complicated boundary
conditions for membrane mechanics (Andreeva, Elastic Elements of
Instruments).

Of course, non-membrane pressure sensors also exist, and behave
according to different physical and mathematical principles....
