A cylindrical tank has varying stresses at different heights. If the stress at height z is represented as σ(z) = 3z², compute the total force acting on the top face of the cylindrical element given radius r = 2.
💡 Hint: Utilize integration techniques for polynomial functions.
Create a simulation model of a cylindrical structure under varying loads. How would the stress distribution change as you alter the radial distance?
💡 Hint: Consider software that can visualize stress under loads.
