SLX 06: in plane bending of an arc

Description

Material Modulus of elasticity E =200 000N/mm^2
Poisson’s ratio \nu= 0.3
Geometry Cross-section Tube d_i = 16mm
d_e = 20mm
Boundary conditions In point A Fixed support
Loads In point B F_x = 0.01kN
F_y = 0.005kN
M = 0.008kNm

Note: the arc is approximated with 16 line segments
