Length \(a\mathrm{=}2m\).

Width \(b\mathrm{=}1m\).

\(O\) midpoint of segment \(\mathit{AB}\) (origin of the coordinate system).

1.2. Material properties#

Plates 1 and 2:

Poisson’s ratio: \(0.0\)

Young’s module: \(2.{10}^{6}N\mathrm{/}{m}^{2}\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

Plate 1 is blocked:

  • On \(\mathit{HG}\) \(\mathit{DX}\mathrm{=}0\) and \(\mathit{DY}\mathrm{=}0\).

The plate 2 is subjected to an imposed displacement:

  • On \(\mathit{CD}\): \(\mathit{DY}\mathrm{=}{U}_{0}\mathrm{=}–0.1m\) and \(\mathit{DX}\mathrm{=}0\).
