SSLS104 - Cylindrical Coque pinch
with diaphragm
Summary:
One treats in linear elasticity the case of a cylinder formed by two circular funds at the two ends and gripped
with mid- length.
This makes it possible to treat the modes of deformation inextensionnels and a complex membrane behavior
had with the diaphragms.
The value tested is the arrow at the point of application of the force.
Three modelings: DKT, COQUE_3D QUAD9 and COQUE_3D TRIA7.

8.2 Remarks
For a grid with 500 meshs TRIA7 and 1071 nodes (cutting 10 on AD and BC, 25 on AB and
Cd.), one obtains a displacement v at the point C of ­ 1.7723 10­5. The relative error on displacement v in
C is then 2.88%. The results with this element for light grids is thus not very good
and improves relatively little with an increase of the number of meshs.

Summary of the results
With regard to the elements:
DKT:
The result is better with a finer grid (1366 nodes) which leads to an error < 1.5%.
MEC3QU9H:
The result is acceptable with relatively few elements (compared with DKT). While increasing
appreciably the number of elements (60 instead of 32), the error is < 1.3%.
MEC3TR7H:
Result little satisfying even with a fine grid leading to a great total number of
nodes for MEC3TR7H (777 for MEC3TR7H to be compared with 209 for DKT and 121 for
MEC3QU9H). To arrive at an error lower than 2.9%, that requires a very great number of
nodes (1071). It seems recognized that this element is worse than MEC3QU9H.
