Extract

The success achieved in wing analysis and related problems through the introduction of triangular elements with six nodal points and a prescribed linearly varying strain or stress, naturally raised demands for a further sophistication in the idealisation process by triangularisation. In this context a practically important extension is concerned with the influence of taper in the thickness. We reproduce in what follows the theory for the special case of linear type. The paper may be considered as a generalisation of notes 2 and 3 of this series. However, the analysis is here based on the non-dimensional homogeneous triangular co-ordinates introduced in note 5, which simplify the argument considerably. A significant broadening of the applicability of the new element will be given in notes 9 and 10.
