...central hole. Because of symmetry we need only model a quarter of the plate. The full plate is 1.0 m × 0.4 m with a thickness of 0.01 m. The central hole has a diameter of 0.2 m. The plate is made of steel with a Young’s modulus of 2.07×10 11 N/m 2 and a Poisson’s ratio of 0.29. The horizontal tensile loading is in the form of pressure of 1.0 Pa (N/m 2 ), along the...
