However, if we use FEM, stress inside the whole element is constant, mos in the analytical solution stress varies linearly with x. sex py fev trier calcletin AE/ME 5310 Class Notes Page Buite Element Pradary Gow Inay seven talenteton 4, at c wot 2s Frr zahele fu Zz K [tee] fUe|= (fl _ “) wot APPLE £,~ (23), [a 1 bas Load ~ (AZ).
