Hollow cylinder v/s Solid cylinder

Submitted by Zartasha Mustansar on

I have a cylinder of length 310 mm, diameter 60 mm, Outer radius 30mm, inner radius 3 mm and thickness 27mm and Young's modulus 20GPa.  I am interested to calculate change of displacement in both hollow and solid cylinder. However, the value I am getting in hollow cylinder is less than solid cylinder. Any idea why so? wherein the deformation magnitude of hollow cylinder should be quite greater than the solid one?

 

Thanks,

Analytic Vs Experimental Solution for a simple beam experiment

Submitted by Zartasha Mustansar on

Dear Abaqus Users.

Can anyone pleasehelp me regarding the solution of a simple beam experiment.

I am trying to findthe tip displacement of a cantilever beam and compare the outputs with"Analytic solution" to confirm FE results.

The assumptions thatI am following are:

Length=200mm

Width=20mm

Depth/Thickness=25mm

Force/Load = 100N(concentrated force)

E=209.E3

Poisson's ratio=0.3

Number of elementsused for meshing = 29

Types of elements Iam using for Cantilever beam are:

C3D4
