A simple calculation based on the definition of Young's modulus can yield and order of magnitude level estimate for the deflection an endplate made from Aluminum. According to the definition of Young's modulus
where
- Young's Modulus for Aluminum
- point force/load
- width of the endplate
- deflection of endplate due to point force
- length of the endplate
- thickness of the endplate
A deflection of x mm results after solving the equation for y and inserting the above values.
