EXAMPLE 5-008
SOLID THICK-WALLED CYLINDER
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
In this example a thick-walled cylinder under plane strain conditions is subjected
to a 1 ksi internal pressure as suggested in MacNeal and Harder 1985. A 10-
degree segment of the cylinder, 1 inch thick, with a 3-inch inner radius and a 9-
inch outer radius, is modeled using a 5x1x1 mesh. The radial displacement and
the radial, tangential and longitudinal stress components at the inside face of the
cylinder are compared with hand-calculated values. Note that radial displacement
values are also published in MacNeal and Harder 1985.
Six different models using four different Poissons ratios and two different
meshes are considered in this example. The following table lists the models used.
A 0.3 5x1x1
B 0.49 5x1x1
C 0.499 5x1x1
D 0.4999 5x1x1
E 0.49 20 x 1 x 1
F 0.49 160 x 1 x 1
The plane strain condition is enforced by setting the Uz degree inactive for the
analysis.

RESULTS COMPARISON
Formulas for the independent results are derived from Article 44, entitled
Thermal Stresses in a Long, Hollow Cylinder in Timoshenko 1956. The
independent results for the radial displacement for Poissons ratios of 0.49, 0.499
and 0.4999 also are presented in MacNeal and Harder 1985. The hand-calculated
radial displacements based on formulas derived from Timoshenko 1956 are the
same as those given in MacNeal and Harder 1985.

CONCLUSIONS
The SAP2000 results show an acceptable comparison with the independent
results when an adequate mesh is used. As the mesh is refined, the SAP2000
results converge to the theoretical results.
