Cantilever plate under uniform pressure
The 10 by 2 by 0.2 plate is clamped at x = 0 and carries pressure p = 2.
For the beam strip, the line load is q = p W. The computed reference is
8.68333333e-3: the Euler–Bernoulli tip value q L**4 / (8 E I) plus the
Timoshenko shear term q L**2 / (2 k G A). This is a convergence study for the basic
cantilever-plate setup, without modifying that introductory example.
