Problem description
The physical problem consists of a hollow cylinder with the inner edge constrained in the radial direction. The base of the cylinder is constrained in the axial direction. A uniform radial displacement is specified along the outer edge of the cylinder. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the model geometry used in this analysis. In consistent units the inner and outer radii of the cylinder are 4.0 and 6.0, respectively, with a cylinder height of 2.0. A linear elastic, isotropic material with a Young's modulus of 2 × 1011, a Poisson's ratio of 0.3, and a density of 1000 is specified. A 20 × 20 mesh is used to model the axisymmetric domain with CAX4R, CAX4, and CAX8 elements. The complete three-dimensional domain is modeled with CCL12 and CCL24 cylindrical elements. Mesh convergence studies have not been performed.
