1. Reference problem

1.1. Geometry

Average radius:	\({R}_{o}=1m\)
Thickness:	\(h=0.02m\)
Height:	\(L=4m\)

Directional cosines of the cylinder axis: \((0.0,\mathrm{0,5 },\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})\)

Local axis \(x\) parallel to global axis \(X\).

1.2. Material properties

\(E=2.1\times {10}^{11}\mathrm{Pa}\)

\(\nu =0.3\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads

• Zero axial displacement at the low end \((w=0)\)

For other boundary conditions (linear relationships), see paragraph [§3].

• Uniform axial load per unit length \(q=10000N/m\), applied at the top end.

1.4. Initial conditions

Not applicable for static analysis.
