Plane stress to a single element- help

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on applying plane stress conditions to a single element with specific boundary constraints. The user has constrained nodes in the x, y, and z directions and is seeking confirmation on the correctness of the stress distribution results. There is a request for advice on the application of boundary conditions and the qualitative accuracy of the results obtained. Participants are encouraged to provide insights or corrections regarding the setup. The user expresses gratitude for any assistance provided.

Dear All,
I just have a single element, I need to apply a plane stress condition as in the attached image.

For the boundary conditions;
• I have constrained the nodes 1 and 2 in the horizontal (x) direction
• I have constrained the nodes 1 and 3 in the vertical (Y) direction
• I have constrained nodes 1,2,3 in z (perpendicular) direction.
• I have got a constant stress and strain throughout the element

Are the results i.e. stress distribution correct qualitatively? Have I applied the boundary conditions correctly?

Please can anyone advise?

Please can anyone help? I shall be rally grateful//
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
