Cylinder subjected to internal pressure

[Akshay Bhardwaj]

I am trying to solve a cylinder subjected to an internal pressure problem in FEAPpv. Can someone please guide me on how to apply internal pressure in FEAPpv? If possible, kindly explain with an example.

Is the problem 2-d or 3-d?

Thank Sir, for your reply.

It is a 2-D problem.

[Prof. R.L. Taylor]

If you are modeling as a plane strain problem then the attached file shows how to do it.

If you are modeling using axisymmetric 2-d elements then you need to multiply the pressure in the csurf by the radius.

[Prof. R.L. Taylor]

Sorry, latest version has axisymmetry if in the file attached previously you us

CSURF
   AXISymm
   POLAr
      ..... etc.

you get a pressure on a sphere

Thanks a lot, Sir, for your reply and help.
