The Plane Stress Problem

13 Jun 2011 (Updated 27 Dec 2011)

Plate under uniform tension at its edges is solved using Finite Element Method

File Information
Description	The plane stress problem i.e a plate under uniform tension at its edges is solved. Plate is dicretized using isoparametric Q4 elements. Pre-processing is done using a standard FEM software. 2nd order Gaussian integration is used to get stiffness matrix. Results obtained are compared with standard FEM software, both the results are in good agreement.

22 Nov 2011	Siva Srinivas Kolukula	Check the file plate meshing for pre-processing the plate in this analysis: link:http://www.mathworks.in/matlabcentral/fileexchange/33731-meshing-a-plate-using-four-noded-elements Check my homepage for further documentation and help: https://sites.google.com/site/kolukulasivasrinivas/

Updates
25 Sep 2011	Added m files to plot mesh and necessary files for post-processing to plot contour plots.
27 Dec 2011	Added file to show results in tabular data
