The rectangular thin plate is subjected to a distributed load. Assume plane stress conditions apply. Use 2 elements cases for the plate as shown in the Fig.3. Determine the followings using ANSYS Workbench and FEA hand calculations that you learnt in class. a) Calculate the element stresses with 2 methods and compare them with each other. b) Find the Von misses stresses in one element for each method and compare them with each other. p = 15 MPa 4 3 500 mm- 500 mm Figure 2:CST Element with Distributed Load E=210 GPa, t =5 mm (Thickness of the plate), y=0.3 (Poisson ratio) Note To apply 15 MPa area pressure in the ANSYS. You can apply line pressure, but you need to multiply the area pressure with thickness so that it turns only to the line pressure.
