The figure above shows the beam with a square cross section of 0.5 m x 0.5 m over a length of 4 m.

1.2. Material properties#

Beam:

Stiffness

\(E=190{10}^{9}\mathit{Pa}\) \(\mathrm{\nu }=0.3\)

Density

\(\mathrm{\rho }=7800\mathit{kg}/{m}^{3}\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

The beam is embedded at its end in \(z=0\).

1.4. Initial conditions#

Not applicable.
