For the simply supported structural steel W 14 × 61 wide flange beam shown in Figure P12–5, compare the plate element model results with the classical beam bending results for deflection and bending stress. The beam is subjected to a central vertical load of 22 kip. The cross-sectional area is 17.9 in.², depth is 13.89 in., flange width is 9.995 in., flange thickness is 0.645 in., web thickness is 0.375 in., and moment of inertia about the strong axis is 640 in.⁴
