A placa retangular simplesmente apoiada é sujeita a diferentes tipos de carga. Assuming only the small deformation theory and neglecting self-weight, determine the deflection at its centroid for each load type.
Na extremidade superior, está fixada uma barra com uma secção quadrada. 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.
