Question: Consider one of the many steel brackets (E = 29 X 106lb/m2, v = 0.3) used to support book-shelves The thickness of the bracket is 1/8 in. The dimensions of the bracket are shown in the accompanying figure. The bracket is loaded uniformly along its top surface, and it is fixed along its left edge. Under the given loading and the constraints, plot the deformed shape; also. determine the von Misses stresses in the bracket.
