Non-prismatic beam

Figure 1. Results of "S12" obtained by using the software Abaqus for the cantilever curvilinearly tapered symmetric beam with a concentrated load on the right edge

Figure 2. Percentage error of the shear stress results evaluated with respect to the FE solution. The labels, J and AN, indicate the Jourawsky and the analytical solutions. The labels, PB, LTSB, LTNSB, CTSB and CTNSB, indicate prismatic beam, linearly tapered symmetric beam, linearly tapered non-symmetric beam, curvilinearly tapered symmetric beam and curvilinearly tapered non-symmetric beam, respectively.
