Description

EX_PLANESTRESS3 NAFEMS benchmarks IC1-4 linear static stress analysis of a tapered membrane.

[ FEA, OUT ] = EX_PLANESTRESS3( VARARGIN ) NAFEMS benchmarks IC1-4 for linear static plane stress analysis of a tapered membrane. Four test cases are modeled, the first with a horizonal load on the left edge, second with horizonal volume force, third with a vertical shear load on the left edge, and fourth with a vertical volume (gravity) force.

Reference: Linear Statics Benchmarks Vol. 1, NAFEMS Ltd., 1987.

Accepts the following property/value pairs.
