Exp 2B Stress Analysis of An 1D Simply Supported
Exp 2B Stress Analysis of An 1D Simply Supported
For the given beam element, cross section of 30*45 length of 1500 mm having Young’s
Modulus 210 KN/mm2 and Poisson ratio 0.3.Conduct the stress analysis for the Simply
supported condition, having a Uniformly Distributed load of 5N/mm for the length of 500mm at
the distance of 500mm from the left end of the beam.
