Hi gents!
I would like to ask you about your engineering opinion on following FEA case.
Given is thick plate (40mm thickness) with dimensions in plan of 500x500mm. It is modelled by solid finite elements with edge of 10mm each.
At some small area of this plate, in effect of loading conditions, there is cubic area 40x40x40mm for which mean von Mises stress is equal to yield strength of the ductile steel material plate is made from. Other areas are well below yield strength.
Note, it is through-thickness phenomenon.
Question is, how would you interpret the results and why, will the plate take it or not?
