1. Reference problem#
1.1. Geometry#
Consider the following structure:

The tube has an outer radius \({R}_{\mathit{ext}}=11.11{10}^{-3}m\) and a thickness of \(\mathit{ep}=1.27{10}^{-3}m\)
1.2. Material properties#
The material is isotropic elastic whose properties are:
\(E=2.056{10}^{11}\mathit{Pa}\)
\(\nu \mathrm{=}0.3\)
\(\rho \mathrm{=}8357\mathit{kg}\mathrm{/}{m}^{3}\)
Shock stiffness: \({K}_{\mathit{choc}}=4{10}^{6}N/m\)
1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#
The game at the ring contact level is \(e=2.9{10}^{-4}m\).
Ring contacts have been removed from \(0.1e\) of the contact nodes.
