Na górnym końcu zamocowany jest pręt o przekroju kwadratowym. 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.
Wykazać, że połączenie różnych elementów wymiarowych nie ma wpływu na wyniki. A cantilever with a rectangular cross-section is fixed at one end and loaded at the other by concentrated forces. Neglecting its self-weight and assuming only small deformations, determine the cantilever's maximum deflections.
