Benchmark solution ===================== Calculation method used for the reference solution -------------------------------------------------------- The reference solution is analytical. **Transition from the initial state to the deformed state:** .. image:: images/Object_5.svg :width: 197 :height: 45 .. _RefImage_Object_5.svg: where :math:`a` is the length of the deformation of the plate following :math:`Y`, :math:`{a}_{0}` is the initial length of the plate, :math:`b` is the thickness of the deformed plate, :math:`{b}_{0}` is the initial thickness of the plate. Because .. image:: images/Object_6.svg :width: 197 :height: 45 .. _RefImage_Object_6.svg: and shell hypotheses, we have .. image:: images/Object_7.svg :width: 197 :height: 45 .. _RefImage_Object_7.svg: **Green-Lagrange tensor:** By definition of the Green-Lagrange tensor, we have .. image:: images/Object_8.svg :width: 197 :height: 45 .. _RefImage_Object_8.svg: With .. image:: images/Object_9.svg :width: 197 :height: 45 .. _RefImage_Object_9.svg: , so we have .. image:: images/Object_10.svg :width: 197 :height: 45 .. _RefImage_Object_10.svg: By substituting, we have .. image:: images/Object_11.svg :width: 197 :height: 45 .. _RefImage_Object_11.svg: **Deformation gradient:** By definition: .. image:: images/Object_12.svg :width: 197 :height: 45 .. _RefImage_Object_12.svg: Either .. image:: images/Object_13.svg :width: 197 :height: 45 .. _RefImage_Object_13.svg: **Piola-Kirchhoff constraints of the second kind:** Let :math:`S` be the constraint of :math:`\mathit{PK2}`, in our case, .. image:: images/Object_14.svg :width: 197 :height: 45 .. _RefImage_Object_14.svg: **Cauchy constraint** Let :math:`s` be the Cauchy stress tensor, we have the relationship .. image:: images/Object_15.svg :width: 197 :height: 45 .. _RefImage_Object_15.svg: , we deduce then that .. image:: images/Object_16.svg :width: 197 :height: 45 .. _RefImage_Object_16.svg: Benchmark results ---------------------- We calculate the :math:`\mathit{DX}` and :math:`\mathit{DY}` displacements at the node :math:`\mathit{NO3}`, the constraints of :math:`\mathit{PK2}` and the Cauchy constraints on the mesh :math:`\mathit{M1}`. Uncertainty about the solution --------------------------- Analytical result. Bibliographical references --------------------------- Nil.
