Question
The uniform forces U and P are applied to a plate with dimensions of
500mm x 400mm and a thickness of 10 mm as illustrated. Consider
the linear elastic behavior, 200GPa Young's modulus, and 78GPa
shear modulus. The plate is subjected to a uniform force U with an
undetermined magnitude and direction and a uniform tensile force
P=50KN.
