Look at Problem 5.17 in Deformable Bodies and their Material Behavior. Complete parts (a), (b), and (c) by hand. Next, download our ANSYS solution here and compare the simulation's results to your Elasticity calculations, Winkler-Bach Theory calculations, and a straight beam relation calculation from parts (a), (b) and (c).
