2. Benchmark solution

2.1. Calculation method used for the reference solution

The calculation of the solution is detailed in the reference given in 2.4.

2.2. Benchmark results

The displacement \({u}_{y}^{D}\) of the point \(D\) is equal to:

\({u}_{y}^{D}=12\times {10}^{-6}\text{m}\)

The shear stress value at point \(B\) is:

\({\sigma }_{\mathit{xy}}^{B}=-19.9\times {10}^{4}\text{Pa}\)
