Question No. 4
Thin steel plate with the profile shown in the accompanying figure is subjected to an axial load.
Approximate the deflection and the average normal stresses along the plate using the model
shown in the figure. The plate has a thickness of 0.125 in and a modulus of elasticity E = 28x106.
Solution:
( 4 ) ( 0.125 ) ( 28 106 )
