1. Reference problem#

1.1. Geometry#

The configuration studied consists of two coaxial cylindrical shells \(4m\) in height.

The inner shell has an average radius \({R}_{1}\) of \(\mathrm{0,98}m\) and a thickness \({e}_{1}\) of \(4\mathrm{cm}\).

The outer shell has an average radius \({R}_{2}\) of \(\mathrm{1,105}m\) and a thickness \({e}_{2}\) of \(1\mathrm{cm}\).

Note:

The thickness and the average radius of the annular space between the two shells are given

by

\(H\mathrm{=}{R}_{\text{ext}}\mathrm{-}{R}_{\text{int}}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{0,1}m\)

\(R\mathrm{=}\frac{{R}_{\text{int}}+{R}_{\text{ext}}}{2}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{1,05}m\)

with

\({R}_{\text{int}}\mathrm{=}R1+\frac{{e}_{1}}{2}\mathrm{=}1m\)

\({R}_{\text{ext}}\mathrm{=}{R}_{2}–\frac{{e}_{2}}{2}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{1,1}m\)

1.2. Material properties#

The material that makes up the two shells is steel. Its physical characteristics are

\(\rho \mathrm{=}7800\mathit{kg}\mathrm{/}{m}^{3}\)

\(E\mathrm{=}2.{10}^{11}\mathit{Pa}\)

\(\nu \mathrm{=}\mathrm{0,3}\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

The outer shell is supposed to be rigid: all the knots are embedded.

Regarding the internal shell, the support conditions are as follows: embedded end in the lower part (\(z\mathrm{=}0\)) and free in the upper part (\(z\mathrm{=}\mathrm{4m}\)).
