1.2. Material properties#

The straight section is rectangular \(b\times h=0.4\times 1{m}^{2}\), and homogeneous with a material of Young’s modulus \(E=3\times {10}^{10}\mathit{Pa}\).

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

The beam is embedded at one end and loaded by a \(F={10}^{6}N\) force at the other end (see Figure 1)
