Objective

To verify the axisymmetric element under distributed loading when used for plate bending problems. 

Physical Problem

Fig. A.3 shows the circular plate to be analyzed. It is a thin plate since the diameter to thickness ratio is 20. The boundary of the plate is simply supported.

Finite Element Model

Ten 8-node axisymmetric elements are used.

Solution Results

    


User Hints

  •  The 8- or 9-node element should be used in order to model the bending behavior.
