Homework Exercise


A steel plate of width, w=0.25m, of length L=1m, and of density 7.9x10³kg/m³ is hung vertically from the ceiling. A force, F=100N is applied as shown in the figure below. The thickness is 1mm. 


The plate is so thin that there is no significant stress variation through the thickness. You can download our ANSYS FEA solution to this problem by clicking here. Load this into ANSYS Workbench as in the tutorial. Please determine if this ANSYS solution is correct. If the solution is not right, use paper-and-pencil calculations to predict what the right values should look like.  Justify your answer through quantitative reasoning.
