Question: Consider the steel bracket ( E = 2 9 xx 1 0 ^ ( 6 ) lb / / in ^ ( 2 ) ,

Consider the steel bracket ( E=29 xx10^(6)lb//in^(2),v=0.3) used to support bookshelves. The dimensions of the bracket are shown below. The bracket is loaded uniformly along its top surface (10lb//in ), and it is fixed along its left edge.
a) State if the problem is a plane stress or plane strain. Justify your answer.
b) Submit the finite element model with appropriate boundary conditions and loads
c) Submit the deformed and undeformed shape
d) Submit the stress contour of the equivalent stress and indicate the locations of the maximum and minimum values using "Probe"
