Hi.
Welcome back @paul cotter .
About stress mentioned by @alancalverd : I can see there would be some extension ("stretch") along the axis from plate to plate but are there any other forces? Shear forces, torque around some axis, a net force acting radially? For example, does the dielectric need to be glued in to prevent the capacitor spitting out bits of dielectric?
Best Wishes.
