Study Type
|
Nonlinear static with large displacement formulation
|
|
Mesh Size
|
Use a standard mesh with global element size of 0.80 in.

|
Material Properties
|
- Modulus of elasticity (E)
= 1 x 107 psi
- Poisson's ratio (ν) =
0
- Mass density (ρ) = 0.098
lb/in3

Results
Plot the result for the displacement variation with applied load at B (at
center of the face where load is applied).
Process the results of the analysis using graphing software to
generate the graph.
The force-deflection curves agree with the finite element solution provided
in the reference.
