SS-V: 1200 Tangential Edge Stress in an Elliptic Membrane

Test No. VS21 Find the tangential edge stress in an elliptic membrane.

Definition



Figure 1.

Sliding constraints are applied along edges AB, DC, and front face. Uniform Outward pressure of 10 MPa is applied along out edge BC.

The material properties are:
