Six rectangular elements are used to model the cantilevered beam shown in the figure. Sketch the graph

Question:

Six rectangular elements are used to model the cantilevered beam shown in the figure. Sketch the graph of \(\sigma_{x x}\) along the top surface that a finite element analysis would yield. There is no need to actually solve the problem, but use your knowledge of shape functions for rectangular elements.
