1. Reference problem#

1.1. Geometry#

Lengths are expressed in meters.

The cylindrical panel is embedded along its 4 sides and subjected to surface force.

  • given in the global frame of reference for modeling A:

\(\mathrm{f}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{-}{f}_{z}{e}_{z};{f}_{z}>0\)

  • given in the local coordinate system for modeling B:

\(\mathrm{f}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{-}{f}_{z}n;{f}_{z}>0\)

which leads to membrane compression of the panel, accompanied by localized flexions. In the case of B modeling, \(n\) is normal to the updated geometry of the panel.

Because of the geometric and physical symmetry of the problem, only quarter \({P}_{1}{P}_{2}{P}_{3}{P}_{4}\) of the panel is modeled, taking into account symmetry conditions.

1.2. Material properties#

Elastic behavior:

\(E\mathrm{=}450000\mathit{MPa};\nu \mathrm{=}0.3\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

Boundary conditions

\(\mathrm{P2P3}\): \(\mathrm{DX}=0.\)

\(\mathrm{DY}=0.\)

\(\mathrm{DZ}=0.\)

\(\mathrm{DRX}=0\)

\(\mathrm{DRY}=0\)

\(\mathrm{DRZ}=0\)

\(\mathrm{P3P4}\): \(\mathrm{DX}=0.\)

\(\mathrm{DY}=0.\)

\(\mathrm{DZ}=0.\)

\(\mathrm{DRX}=0\)

\(\mathrm{DRY}=0\)

\(\mathrm{DRZ}=0\)

Symmetry:

\(\mathrm{P1P2}\):

\(\mathrm{DY}=0.\)

\(\mathrm{DRX}=0.\)

\(\mathrm{DRZ}=0.\)

\(\mathrm{P4P1}\): \(\mathrm{DX}=0.\)

\(\mathrm{DRY}=0.\)

\(\mathrm{DRZ}=0.\)

We look for the successive states of equilibrium under the load consisting of the surface force given in the global coordinate system:

\({f}_{z}(t)\mathrm{=}t\)

\(t\) being the nickname.

We are interested in the only vertical component of displacement in \({P}_{1}\).
