An elliptical steel plate [E = 195 GPa, ν = 0.31, and Y = 270 MPa] has a width of 0.6 m, a length of 1.4 m, and a thickness of 25 mm. The edges are fixed. The plate is subjected to a uniform pressure of 120 kPa. Ignoring the effect of Poisson’s ratio, determine the factor of safety with respect to the yield stress.
