The assignment focuses on analyzing a plate subjected to different pressure loads using finite element analysis (FEA). It involves performing static analyses to determine deflection and stress distribution under constant pressure, modal analyses to examine the plate's natural frequencies and vibration modes, and implicit and explicit dynamic analyses to simulate the plate's response to varying pressure pulses. The results are compared across different loading conditions and damping models to highlight the impact of variable loads on stress, deflection, and overall plate behavior.
