A computer case shown in Figure P12-13 is made of AISI 4130 steel. The top surface is subjected to a uniform pressure load of 0.1 psi. The thickness of the case is uniformly 0.125 in. The bottom surface is fully constrained. Model the case using plate bending elements. Determine the maximum von Mises stress and largest deflection of the top face of the case?
