The thin plate of uniform thickness 20 mm, is as shown inFig.. In addition to the self weight, the plate is subjected to a point load of 400N at mid-depth. The Young's modulus E = 2 × 105N/mm2and unit weight ρ= 0.8*10 -4N/mm2. Analyse the plate after modellingit with two elements and find the stresses in each element. Determine the support reactions also.
