Chapter 9 – Axisymmetric Elements Examples of axisymmetric problems: Pressure vessels Cylindrical shaft with notch or filleted step Stresses near a spherical void Hertzian contact between spheres Use of axisymmetric elements provides computational efficiency as compared to full 3-D analysis
Stresses – Axisymmetric Problems Non-zero stresses - r, ,z, rz r = z = 0 ( due to axisymmetry )
Strains – Axisymmetric Problems Non-zero strains - r, ,z, rz r = z = 0 ( due to axisymmetry ) Stress – Strain Relations: 4x4
Axisymmetric Elements – Displacement Fields Displacement fields:
Three node triangle(Note: not constant strain) Assumed interpolation: Nodal displacements:
Interpolation functionsNote: same as CST where matrix form:
4 x 1 4 x 6 6 x 1 Strain-Displacement Relations
Stresses 4 x 1 4 x 4 4 x 6 6 x 1
Methods for Evaluation [k] • Numerical integration • Analytic derivation • Approximate [B] at centroid []
Distributed Body Forces Can be used to handle stresses induced by centripetal acceleration in rotating bodies
Distributed Body Forces (cont.) where - angular velocity - mass density
Distributed Body Forces (cont.) Approximate radial body force using centroid radius Work equivalent concentrated forces:
