Setup (Physics)

There are mainly two problems for the setup of this problem.

First, this is a nonlinear problem, the calculation process should be divided into several steps in order to make the results converged to the correct solution. This problem can be solved by using the sub-steps in ANSYS. 

Second, we should apply varying shear load on the arc boundary which can not be set up by function in ANSYS directly. To solve the problem, we have to use Mechanical APDL to set up a function command.
