Length \(a=100\mathit{mm}\).

Width \(b=50\mathit{mm}\).

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

1.2. Material properties#

Plates 1 and 2:

Poisson’s ratio: \(0.3\)

Young’s module: \(2000\mathit{MPa}\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

Plate 1 is stuck in \(Y\):

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

  • On \(\mathit{CD}\): \(\mathit{PRES}=25\mathit{MPa}\)

    Symmetry conditions are imposed in \(X\) in order to model only half of the domain.
