The following are definitions for the elements:

Y =[ 2 ε L2 ] / [ 3 ho]

Where:

ε = Dynamic Strain (in/in, mm/mm)
Y = Maximum deflection (in, mm)
ho = Thickness at base of finger (in, mm)
L = Length of finger (in, mm)

Check calculated strain against material mechanical specifications.

K = hL / ho CHART
