# Cantilever plate under a tip force A flat, 10 by 2 by 0.2 cantilever plate is clamped at ``x = 0`` and carries a total unit force in global ``-z`` at ``x = 10``. The force is split equally between the tip-edge nodes, which is statically equivalent to the requested resultant (but is not the consistent quadratic edge-load interpolation). The Euler--Bernoulli value is ``5.78703704e-4``. The reference is the Timoshenko value ``5.78842593e-4``, computed below from ``P L**3 / (3 E I) + P L / (k G A)``, where ``I = W h**3 / 12``, ``A = W h``, ``k = 5/6``, and ``G = E / (2 (1 + nu))``. The corresponding Euler--Bernoulli expression omits the second, shear-deflection term. This Reissner--Mindlin shell has transverse shear, so Timoshenko is the reference; the Euler--Bernoulli value is reported to show that the distinction is small for this slender plate. ```python """Cantilever plate under a tip force A flat, 10 by 2 by 0.2 cantilever plate is clamped at ``x = 0`` and carries a total unit force in global ``-z`` at ``x = 10``.
