Hi, I have a problem that I'm trying to solve and I'm not sure at all how can I proceed.
If we have a metal rectangle (or maybe a rectangle-shaped hole in a piece metal), and we stretch this body a small distance, what is the shape of the top and bottom lines of the body? Can we say it is a catenary? A parabole?
Can anyone lead to me to some good papers or books in the subject?
Thank in advance.![Smile :oldsmile: :oldsmile:](https://www.physicsforums.com/styles/physicsforums/xenforo/smilies/oldschool/smile.gif)
