Benchmark Model
Quad4 and Quad8 elements are used to create a uniform mesh on the skew plate with 4 elements as coarse mesh and 16 elements as fine mesh. The plate is simply supported at all the four edges. A Normal pressure of -0.7 KPa is applied on the face of the plate in the vertical z-direction.
