# Simply supported square plate under uniform pressure. The square plate has ``h = a / 100``, making it thin enough that the Kirchhoff--Love Navier solution is the appropriate reference. Its centre deflection is computed below from the odd-``m``, odd-``n`` double series, rather than importing the rounded ``0.00406 q a^4 / D`` textbook coefficient. The two retained truncations are also checked and reported, demonstrating convergence of the computed reference. This uses the soft simple-support shell idealisation: all edge ``uz`` dofs are held, rotations remain free for the natural zero-moment condition, and only three point in-plane gauges remove rigid-body motion. Pinning in-plane edge motion would make a hard support and introduce a different membrane constraint. ```python """Simply supported square plate under uniform pressure.
