SS-V: 1060 Cantilever Plate

Test No. VS07 Find bending stress at fixed end for a cantilevered plate subjected to a vertical shear load of 120 lbs.

Definition

Figure 1.


The load is uniformly distributed along the free end of the plate.

The end constraint boundary condition is sliding with fix line spot at the middle of the end face.

The units are IPS.

The material properties are:
