There are a few different types of 6061, Annealed or Tempered/Heat Treated (T4 and T6). Yield Stength is: 6061-O temper is 55 MPa (8 ksi) 6061 T6 is about 275-276 MPa (40 ksi) Source: Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering by William Callister , Jr.

I believe you, I'm just not familiar with doing this. Do you have any links to some reading material regarding the summing?

Thanks nvn, but why is it you're able to sum the two together (equation of force->deflection and moment->deflection)? This may be basic stuff, but I admit I'm very rusty at it.

I want the area between the base(bottom) and B to flex much more than the top part (from B to A). The top part's bending should be negligible. I'm looking to calculate deflection at B.

I'm working on some stress analysis for work. I'm analyzing the design of a plate, part of which is meant to deflect under a load. Due to this sheet metal plate being somewhat non-straight forward geometry, calculating correctly is a bit tricky. I'm putting an undercut into the plate to allow...
