Problem statement
- Geometry
- Cylindrical shell, radius 300, length 600, thickness 3, with rigid end diaphragms; an octant is modeled.
- Material
- Linear-elastic isotropic material, E = 3×10⁶, ν = 0.3.
- Boundary conditions
- Rigid diaphragms at both ends; two diametrically opposed unit point loads at mid-length.
- Measured quantity
- Radial deflection under the load.
