Problem 4: Make a MatLab program for the following Problem.
For the beam shown, use Matlab to calculate the deflection at the mid-span using four beam elements, making the shear area zero and then making the shear area equal 5/6 times the cross-sectional area (b times h). Then make the beam have decreasing spans of \(200\mathrm{~mm},100\mathrm{~mm}\), and 50 mm with zero shear area and then \(5/6\) times the cross-sectional area. Compare the answers. Based on your program answers, can you conclude whether your program includes the effects of transverse shear deformation? (answer this fully please! with mathlab and make the program)
