Description

Material Modulus of elasticity E = 210 000 N/mm^2
Poisson’s ratio \nu= 0.3
Geometry Cross-section Thickness e=2 mm
Boundary conditions At bottom edge R_y fixed
Loads On top edge q=10kN/m
Mesh Maximum element size 0.05m
Minimum element size 0.00m

Results

Handcalculation

    \[\sigma_1=\sigma_{zz}=\frac{p}{e}=\frac{10kN/m}{0,02m}=5 N/mm^2\]

    \[\Delta R=\delta_x=\delta_z=\frac{p \cdot \nu \cdot R}{E \cdot e}=\frac{10kN/m \cdot 4m \cdot 1m}{210000N/mm^2 \cdot 0,02m}=0,000 714mm\]

    \[\Delta y=\delta_y=\frac{p \cdot L}{E \cdot e}=\frac{10kN/m \cdot 4m}{210000N/mm^2 \cdot 0,02m}=0,009524mm\]
