Point position:

  • \(E,F\) halfway up

  • \(G,H,I\) at \(R\) distance from the axis

Breakdown:

100 elements according to height

1 element in the thickness

Boundary conditions:

\(\mathrm{DY}=0\) out of \(\mathrm{AB}\)

Loading:

Constant force density equal to —78500.

Node name:

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

Number of knots: 553

Number of meshes and types: 50 QUAD8, 100 TRIA6, 204 SEG3

3.3. Tested values#

Reference

Points \(C,D,I\)

\({u}_{x}(m)\)

2.99 10—6

Point \(G\)

\({u}_{r}(m)\)

—4.49 10—7

Point \(G\)

\({\sigma }_{11}(\mathrm{Pa})\)

—3.14 105

Points \(A,B,G\)

\({\sigma }_{22}(\mathrm{Pa})\)

3.4. notes#

  1. The given values of \({\sigma }_{22}\) are not significant.

  2. Given the mesh size (1 element in the thickness), the results are completely satisfactory.
