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.
Uniform acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 in global x direction (gravity): Tapered
Membrane.
Study B. Uniform acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 in
global y direction (gravity): Tapered Cantilever.
Study C. Uniform
acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 in global z direction (gravity): Tapered Plate.
All dimensions are in m.
