Exercises

Exercise 1:

Repeat the same analysis as in the tutorial using the two-dimensional approximation for plane strain (instead of plane stress). How do the predictions for the maximum transverse deflection for this analysis compare with the three-dimensional results shown in the Results Section and in Figure 4.12 of the text.

Repeat the tutorial for a beam with cross section 3inches by 3 inches. How do FEA predictions using one-, two-, and three-dimensional models now compare with Euler-Bernoulli beam theory?
