An L-shaped plate (Figure P12–2) with thickness 0.1 in. is made of ASTM A-36 steel. Determine the deflection under the load and the maximum principal stress and its location using the plate element. Then model the plate as a grid with two beam elements with each beam having the stiffness of each L-portion of the plate and compare your answer.
