Four columns are fixed at the bottom and connected by the rigid block at the top. Block is loaded by pressure and modeled by an elastic material with a high modulus of elasticity. Outer columns are modeled by linear elastic material and inner columns by a stress-strain diagram with the decaying dependence. Assuming only small deformations theory and neglecting structure's self-weight, determine its maximum deflection.
