Bending of a Circular Plate Using Axisymmetric Elements
Problem:
A circular plate of radius 10 is simply supported at the edge and subjected to pressure of 1. Determine bending stress in the plate using axisymmetric model.
The geometric model is prepared in GMSH and FE analysis is performed in SCIFESOL.
