| Application Area: | Lightweight Structures |
| Description: | In this test the disk system, depicted above, is analysed with an edge compression of 100 MPa, which is equivalent to a line load of 10000 kN/m for a thickness of 0.1 m, whereby an isotropic material with an E-modulus of 210*10³ MPa and a poisson's ratio of 0.3 are used. Initially the system is generated with an element mesh consisting of 8x1 quadrilateral elements. Subsequently the number of elements are doubled, up to an element mesh having 64x8 quadrilateral elements. The calculation is made with the program ASE. More precise description: NAFEMS: Linear Statics Benchmarks, Vol. 1 Results: Stress Syy in point D. Benchmark value -1150 MPa (analytic). Deviation of program ASE for 8x1 elements 1.1%, 16x2 elements 0.8%, 32x4 elements 0.5%, 64x8 elements 0.4% (further results in the DAT-file). |
