| NAFEMS | Hemisphere-point loads | Test No LE3 | Date/issue 1986-11-21/2 |
| ORIGIN | NAFEMS report C1 |
| ANALYSIS TYPE | Linear elastic |
| GEOMETRY all dimension in metres |
 |
| thickness=0.04 |
| LOADING |  |
| Concentrated radial loads of 2KN, outwards at A, inwards at C |
| BOUNDARY CONDITIONS | Point E, zero zdisplacement Edge AE, symmetry about zx plane, i.e. zero y displacement, zero normal rotation Edge CE, symmetry about yz plane, i.e. zero x displacement, zero normal rotation All other displacements on edge AC are free. |
| MATERIAL PROPERTIES | Isotropic. E=68.25 x 103 MPa, n=0.3 |
| ELEMENT TYPES | Quadrilateral shells. |
| MESHES |  |
 |
| Equally spaced nodes on AC, CE, EA Point G at x=y=z=10/sqrt(3) Equally spaced nodes on BG, DG, FG, (all great circles) |
||
| OUTPUT | x displacement at point A | TARGET | 0.185 m |
