Exactly. FEA results can be compared only in the small deflection, due to the bending stress only.
I am curious for the large deflection, when membrane stresses occur.
I cannot do it with prex´s web page because now I need to pay for it.
As I work in ANSYS WB, there are not many commands as...
I get good results till deflection reaches 0.5 of thickness because by that point membrane stress is negligible and results are compared only to the linear bending theory.
BPVFEA- I prefer working in Workbench so I find similar of what you suggested me.
I have a stress distribution over the...
Dear all,
I am working on the coaxial ring-on-ring test. It is a thin circular plate supported on the bottom side with one ring, and loaded with the ring on the upper side. The loading ring has a smaller diameter than the supporting ring.
After applying the load, plate bends.
The problem occurs...
