1. Reference problem#

1.1. Geometry#

_images/10000000000001B40000011251F9A74FDB364D04.png

Plate with infinite depth (2D modeling):

Length: \(L=5.0m\)

Thickness: \(e=0.5m\)

Coordinates of points \(A\) and \(B\)

\({X}_{A}=0.0;{Y}_{A}=0.0\)

\({X}_{B}=4.0;{Y}_{B}=3.0\)

1.2. Material properties#

Concrete:

Young’s module: \(E=3{10}^{10}\mathrm{Pa}\)

Poisson’s ratio: \(\nu \mathrm{=}0.0\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

On point \(A\) we block movements according to \(X\), \(Y\) and the rotation around \(Z\):

\({U}_{x}^{A}=0.0;{U}_{y}^{A}=0.0;{\mathit{DR}}_{z}^{A}=0.0\)

On point \(B\) we apply a loading according to \(Y\):

\({F}_{Y}=-100.0N\)
