Uniformly decreasingfrom fixed edge to zero at 2/3 b.

Stress and Reaction Force at center of fixed edge:

Stress Maximum and R = γ1w

Stress and Reaction Force at center of free edge:

Stress Maximum and R = γ2w

Symbols used:
w = Applied Line Load or Force to Flat Area of Plate (lbs/in2)
v = Poisson’s ratio (assumed to be 0.2)
t = plate thickness, ( in)
a = plate length, ( in)
b = plate width, (in)
σ = stress, (lbs/in2)
R = Reaction force per unit length (lbs/in) normal to the plate surface exerted by the boundary support on the edge of the plate.
