A rectangular plate is subjected to uniform tensile stress along its upper and lower edges, as shown in Fig. P2.49. Determine the displacements u and v in terms of x, y, and material properties (E, ): (a) using Eqs. (2.3) and the appropriate conditions at the origin; (b) by the mechanics of materials approach.
