2. Benchmark solution#
2.1. Calculation method used for the reference solution#
Without friction, the contact pressure at the interface is equal to the pressure imposed.
2.2. Benchmark results#
The contact pressure is constant and equal to \(25\mathit{MPa}\) over the entire contact surface.
2.3. Uncertainty about the solution#
Analytical solution.
