Question

1.) Determine the nodal displacements and the element stresses for the plate discretized into four constant strain (three noded) triangular elements and subjected to the tensile forces shown below. Let E=30x106 psi, v = 0.30 and t-1 in. Use a commercial finite element code to solve this problem. You must submit a discussion of how you set up the problem, the input deck, and a full set of results. 1 -20 in.- 10 in. 5000 lb 5000 lb stress shown
