SSLL403 - Buckling of a beam under the effect of
its actual weight




Summary:

This test makes it possible to validate in linear elasticity the loading due to the forces of gravity for a modeling
of right beam type of Euler (POU_D_E). It also allows the implementation and the validation of the calculation of
stamp geometrical rigidity.

The reference solution is analytical and the results considered to be satisfactory.

Summary of the results
The results are very close to the analytical solution (variation: 0,4% per 10 elements). This variation is
function of the smoothness of discretization being given assumptions used for rigidity
geometrical (cf [R3.08.01]). This thus validates this type of loading for the buckling of Euler.
