Assignment5 Solution

This document provides the results of a finite element analysis of a plate with different meshes and element types to calculate deflection. It tests a plate with dimensions of a=6m, t=0.2m, under a load of P=2MN at the mid-span, using Young's modulus E=200GPa and Poisson's ratio ν=0.3. Deflection is reported for meshes of 1m×1m, 0.5m×0.5m, and 0.25m×0.25m using different plate elements. It also analyzes the same problem using solid elements with a 0.25m×0.25m×0.2m mesh.

Assignment #5 1

Question 1
Solve the problem below by using plate finite elements for E=200GPA, ν=0.3, a=6m, t=0.2m and P=2MN,
where the singular load P is applied at the mid-span. Use three different meshes (1m x 1m, 0.5m x 0.5m and
0.25m x 0.25m) and 3 different plate elements. For each case, find the vertical deflection at the mid-span.
