Reference problem ===================== Geometry --------- Cylinder with :math:`X` axis, length :math:`L`, average radius :math:`R`, thickness :math:`e`. .. image:: images/Object_1.svg :width: 432 :height: 72 .. _RefImage_Object_1.svg: Here, :math:`L\mathrm{=}\mathrm{1m}`, :math:`R\mathrm{=}\mathrm{0.1m}`, :math:`e\mathrm{=}\mathrm{0.01m}`. Material properties ----------------------- Linear elasticity: Young's module: .. image:: images/Object_2.svg :width: 432 :height: 72 .. _RefImage_Object_2.svg: Poisson's ratio .. image:: images/Object_3.svg :width: 432 :height: 72 .. _RefImage_Object_3.svg: Boundary conditions and loads ------------------------------------- The shell mesh is connected to beam elements in :math:`A` and :math:`B`. This makes it possible to give boundary conditions compatible with beam kinematics. However, here we are only interested in the shell solution subjected to internal pressure. Point :math:`D` is embedded. The pressure is read on a "plexus" mesh of segment :math:`\mathit{AB}`, comprising 20 beam elements. It varies as follows: .. image:: images/Object_4.svg :width: 432 :height: 72 .. _RefImage_Object_4.svg:
