The cantilever beam pictured is rigidly supported (fixed) at its left-end and is subject to forces \( F_{x} \) and \( F_{y} \
The cantilever beam pictured is rigidly supported (fixed) at its left-end and is subject to forces and applied to its right-end. Perform a finite element analysis of this beam subject to the following guidelines. Material: AISI 1045 Steel cold drawn External Load: - Assign an axial Force that acts Normal to the right-end of the beam in the direction shown. - Also, apply an upward Force that acts on the top-right Edge of the beam. - Assign a Fixed restraint to the left-end (left-end face) of the beam Determine the following: a) Use the Probe feature to create a graph of across the front face of the beam (from top to bottom) at approximately to the right of the fixed-end. Use classical stress equations to calculate the appropriate normal stress on both the top and bottom surfaces of the beam and compare the percent difference. b) Calculate the maximum shear stress due to bending using classical equations at the fixed end and compute the percent difference between classical and finite element solutions for maximum shear stress determined half-way between top and bottom surfaces of the beam.
