Challenge — Double the length
Keep the cross-section, material, force and mesh_h=0.05 m, but use:
beam_l=2.0The new topology will have 80 elements and 246 nodes. The theory predicts:
uy_ref_2 = −3.04762E−3 m
uy_2/uy_1 = 8
x_section_2 = 0.4 m
sigma_ref_2 = 19.2 MPa
sigma_2/sigma_1 = 2
Both FEA ratios should approach the predictions within the 5 %, and the
both cases must continue to satisfy equilibrium.
