1. Reference problem#
1.1. Geometry#
Consider a hollow sphere with external radius \(1m\) and internal radius \(0.2m\).

Figure 1.1-a : Section of the sphere under study
1.2. Material properties#
The material has an elastoplastic behavior that is perfectly plastic. Its load surface is defined by the von Mises criterion. The material properties are:
\(E=200000\mathit{MPa}\)
\(\nu =0.3\)
\({\sigma }_{y}\mathrm{=}150\mathit{MPa}\)
1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#
Internal pressure is applied until the entire plasticization of the sphere is achieved. The outer surface is free of effort.
1.4. Initial conditions#
