Question: Using two CST elements, solve the simple shear problem depicted in the figure and determine whether the CST elements can represent the simple shear condition

Using two CST elements, solve the simple shear problem depicted in the figure and determine whether the CST elements can represent the simple shear condition accurately or not. Material properties are given as \(E=10 \mathrm{GPa}, v=0.25\), and thickness is \(h=0.1 \mathrm{~m}\). The distributed force \(f=100 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\) is applied at the top edge.
