Boundary Conditions: A) Fixed or Clamped Edge

1) The document discusses different types of boundary conditions for finite difference meshes, including fixed/clamped edges, simply supported edges, and free edges. 2) It provides the governing equations at different points on a simply supported square plate subjected to a uniformly distributed load. 3) The equations are solved to find the displacements f1, f2, and f5, with f1 having a value of 0.00403.
