Question:

Solve Ex. 4–13, modeling Fig. 4–14b with 2-D elements of 2-in thickness. Since this example uses symmetry, be careful to constrain the boundary conditions of the bottom horizontal surface appropriately.

Data from 4-13

A rectangular steel bar supports the two overhanging loads shown in the figure. Using superposition, find the deflection at the ends and at the center.
