SSLS120 - Cylindrical thin hull under pressure
hydrostatic




Summary:

This test represents a static calculation of thin cylindrical tank filled with water. It makes it possible to validate the maid
taking into account of the pressures function of the geometry, as well as the orthotropic materials rubber band. 3
modelings finite elements are used:
AXIS
,
COQUE_3D
with meshs
QUAD9
,
COQUE_3D
with
meshs
TRIA7
and DKT with meshs
QUAD4
. Displacements and the stresses obtained are compared with
an analytical reference solution.

Problem of reference
1.1 Geometry
Cylindrical reserve of average radius R = 5.7 m, thickness E = 0.04 m and height L = 16 m,
simply supported at its base (rotation is free), and subjected to an internal hydrostatic pressure.



















Average radius: R
= 5.7 m
Thickness:
E = 0.04 m
Height:
L = 16 m
1.2
Material properties
The properties of materials constituting the plate are:
Material 1: isotropic rubber band:
Young modulus
E
= 2.1 10
11
AP
Poisson's ratio
= 0.3
Material 2: orthotropic rubber band:
E_L = 1.E10 AP
E_T = 2.1E11 AP
G_LT = 0.45E10 AP
G_TN = 0.35E10 AP
NU_LT = 0.075
The axis L is confused with axis Z.
1.3
Boundary conditions and loadings
Base Z = 0 simply supported
internal pressure varying linearly according to Z: p (Z) = P0.(L-z)/L
with P0 = 15000 AP.
1.4 Conditions
initial
Without object.

6.5 Remarks
To obtain a correct result, it is necessary to take guard with the convention adopted for NU_LT for
hulls multi layers (
DEFI_COQU_MULT
), which is different from that used for
ELAS_ORTH
:
Here, it is necessary to take Nu_LT such as NuTL=ET/EL * NuLT, that is to say NU_LT = 0.014285714).

Summary of the results
The results of four modelings are very close to the analytical solution: to the maximum 0.4%
variation for modelings COQUE_3D and DKT, and less than 2% of variation for modeling
axisymmetric, which is explained by the fact why the analytical solution is a mean solution hull.
This test thus validates on the one hand the efforts of pressure varying linearly with the geometry, for
thin hulls, and in addition the taking into account of orthotropic elasticity.
