Eine einfach gelagerte Rechteckplatte wird unterschiedlichen Lastarten ausgesetzt. Assuming only the small deformation theory and neglecting self-weight, determine the deflection at its centroid for each load type.
Am oberen Ende ist ein Stab mit quadratischem Querschnitt befestigt. The rod is loaded by self-weight. For comparison, the example is also modeled with the concentrated force load, the value of which is equal to the gravity. The aim of this verification example is to show the difference between these types of loading, although the total loading force is equal.
