🛠️ Flat Stainless Panel Lab: Plate Buckling, Springback and Dent Resistance

Compress a thin stainless-steel plate with a finite-difference plate solver until it buckles, bend a strip in a press brake and measure springback, then tap a flat or crowned panel to see it dent or oil-can. Inspired by publicly reported unpainted stainless pickup-truck panels; stylised generic models, independent educational model. Unlike the existing Euler column buckling and sheet-metal springback sims, this one covers plate buckling (sigma_cr ~ t^2), curvature stiffening and oil-canning of a flat body panel.
