6.1 The square plate shown below has the following dimensions and material constants: L=1m,t=0.02m,E=30×106N/m2, and v=0.3. Use plate elements to determine the maximum displacement and von Mises stress in the slab in the following cases: (a) The four edges are clamped and the slab is under a uniform load q=1N/m2. (b) The four edges are clamped and the slab is under a concentrated force P=1N at the center C. (c) The four edges are hinged and the slab is under a uniform load q=1N/m2. (d) The four edges are hinged and the slab is under a concentrated force P=1N at the center C. Verify the FEA solutions with the analytical solutions given in the Table 6.1.
