A cantilever is 200+Q cm long, 30+Q cm high and 5 cm thick, and it is attached to a wall with full fixity at its left end (i.e., no rotations allowed). The figure below shows an elevation and cross section view of a cantilever beam subject to an end moment couple of 100 + Q kN forces. The beam is made of a material that has a modulus of elasticity E=200GPa and Poisson's ratio v = 0.3. cm 30+Q cm 200+Q cm CROSS-SECTION ELEVATION VIEW Figure 2-3Equivalent Nodal Forces of 2-D Four-node Plane Finite Element 100+Q KN 100+Q KN You are required to only use two CST elements to create a finite element model of this cantilever beam and finish three tasks: 1) compute by hand or use MS EXCEL to determine: a. the nodal displacements at each node; b. the reactions at the support; c. the strain and stress in each element; (25 marks) 2) conduct this finite element analysis to obtain above solutions by employing ANSYS Workbench, you need to include the screenshots for geometry, material, force and supports, and each solution in your report; (20 marks) 3) compare the ANSYS solutions with those obtained in Part 1. If they are different, explain why. (5 mark) A cantilever is 200+Q cm long, 30+Q cm high and 5 cm thick, and it is attached to a wall with full fixity at its left end (i.e., no rotations allowed).
