2. Solving a plane stress problem (Triangle elements) using Matlab 3. Practice to solve above Questions using ANSYS (Homework-from Week 8 onwards) Lab 6 – Question 1: Calculate displacements and stresses for plate subjected to plane stress (Triangle Element): A steel plate subjects to tension forces as shown in Figure below. Dimensions: 100mm x 400mm, Thickness, t = 10 mm; Applied load: p = 200 N/mm. Given, Young’s modulus: E = 200 GPa; Poisson ratio, = 0,3. Determine displacement and stresses in the plate.

Determine the deflection at the point of load application using a one
element model. The plate has a thickness t=10 mm
If a mesh of several triangular elements is used, comment on the stress
values in the elements close to the tip. (Recommend to use Matlab or Ansys to perform calculation)
