Case 1

The constraints are as follows The Triangular sections are only constrained on the downstream side and the nose plate is constrained on the upstream side

Case 2

The constraints are as follows The Triangular sections are only constrained on the downstream side and the nose plate is constrained on both sides

Case 3

The constraints are as follows The Triangular sections are only constrained on the upstream side and the nose plate is constrained on the upstream side

Case 4

The constraints are as follows The Triangular sections are only constrained on the upstream side and the nose plate is constrained on both sides

Case 5

The constraints are as follows The Triangular sections are only constrained on both sides and the nose plate is constrained on the upstream side

Case 6

The constraints are as follows The Triangular sections and the nose plate are constrained on both sides

1.) Movies showing deflections as a function of applying the max load and then releasing it. The max deflection is about 13 mm. The two movies below show the two endplate deflections with no rods for either 1 fixed or 2 fixed mount points.

This movie shows the endplate deflection as the wire load is applied and then released. The top two mounting brackets on the back plate are fixed.
