Reference problem ===================== Geometry --------- The configuration studied consists of two coaxial cylindrical shells 4 meters high: .. image:: images/100014EE000069F000004D1A83A95521F092C3B2.svg :width: 272 :height: 200 .. _RefImage_100014EE000069F000004D1A83A95521F092C3B2.svg: The inner shell has an average radius of :math:`1m` and a thickness of :math:`1\mathrm{cm}`. The outer shell has an average radius of :math:`\mathrm{1,10}m` and a thickness of :math:`1\mathrm{cm}`. Material properties ---------------------- The material that makes up the two shells is steel. Its physical characteristics are: .. csv-table:: ":math:`\rho \mathrm{=}7800\mathit{kg}\mathrm{/}{m}^{3}` "," :math:`E\mathrm{=}2.{10}^{11}\mathit{Pa}` "," :math:`\nu \mathrm{=}\mathrm{0,3}`" Boundary conditions and loads ------------------------------------- The support conditions are the same for both shells: ends embedded in the lower part (:math:`z\mathrm{=}0`) and free ends in the upper part (:math:`z\mathrm{=}4m`).
