# Clamped circular plate under uniform pressure. An isotropic disk of radius ``a`` and thin thickness ``h = a / 100`` is clamped on its rim and loaded normally by uniform pressure. It is thin enough that Kirchhoff-- Love theory is the correct reference, whose exact centre deflection is ``w_max = q a^4 / (64 D)``; the expression is evaluated below. The mesh comes from the ``disk()`` polar builder. Its outer boundary is an inscribed polygon and hence slightly under-represents the true circle, so the circumferential resolution is held at eight times the radial level: the chordal geometric error is then much smaller than the finite-element discretisation error. ```python """Clamped circular plate under uniform pressure.
