Q3. A thin rectangular plate of thickness t is subjected to stresses that can be represented by the following stress function : р - 13 *?y?(3bx – 2y) ) - Where p is a constant. у A С a B o Q3c. Using the stress distributions from Q3a, draw a sketch showing the boundary stresses on the plate at edge y = a. You may wish to use a software tool (e.g. Excel or other) to help you visualise the shape of the stress distributions (if so, please include a screen copy of your results and the software name or webpage link). A clearly labelled hand-sketch is still required to be awarded the marks. 13:31
