Determine the stress at B of a tapered geometry constrained along the
inner edge AC and subjected to the following loading conditions along the outer edge DE:
Study
A. Uniformly distributed horizontal (x-direction) load of 10 MN/m (pressure of 100 MPa):
Tapered Membrane.
Study B. Uniform surface shear traction of 100 MPa
in the vertical y-direction: Tapered Membrane.
Study C. Uniform
vertical shear 10 KN/m (pressure of 0.1 MPa) in the z-direction: Tapered Plate.
All dimensions are in m.
