As the exact solution is the fourth order solution, the finite element solution does not
match for one element and it is converging as the number of elements increases. The derivative
of the solution is continuous and that also converging as the number of elements increases.
Bending Moment, Bending Stresses on the top and the bottom surfaces are linear for one element
and converging as the number of elements increases.

As the exact solution is the fifth order solution, the finite element solution does not match
for one element and it is converging as the number of elements increases. The derivative of the
solution is continuous and that also converging as the number of elements increases. Bending
