SSLV139 - Buckling of a circular plate
subjected to a compressive force uniformly
distributed on its contour




Summary:


This test represents a calculation of stability of a circular plate subjected to a compressive force
uniformly distributed on its contour. We determine the critical load leading to buckling
rubber band of Euler as well as the associated modal deformation.

This test validates modeling
AXIS_FOURIER
for linear buckling with meshs
QUAD8
and
TRIA6
(circumferential mode equal to zero), and modeling
AXIS
with meshs
QUAD8
.

The critical load obtained is compared with an analytical reference solution.

Summary of the results
The results obtained are very satisfactory for the meshs
QUAD8
independently of
modeling used (
AXIS
or
AXIS_FOURIER)
: uncertainties on the critical pressure
0.104% do not exceed.
However, it will be noted that modeling
AXIS_FOURIER
is definitely less precise with
meshs
TRIA6
that with meshs
QUAD8
.
This test with license to test and compare modelings
AXIS
and
AXIS_FOURIER
in buckling
linear of Euler of a circular mean structure subjected to an external force of compression
uniformly distributed on its contour.
