PROBLEM STATEMENT

Consider a 96 in. x 12 in. cantilever beam as shown in the above figure. The beam is
loaded at the right end by a force P = 40000 lb. The beam is isotropic with Young’s
modulus E = 3x107 psi and Poisson’s ratio ν = . Using Hypermesh and ABAQUS,
perform the analysis outlined below. Start out by creating a relatively coarse mesh of
4-node quadrilateral elements (try a mesh of rectangular elements with 6 divisions in the x
direction and 2 divisions in the y direction). Apply the appropriate boundary conditions,
and run the problem assuming plane stress.
