Problem description:
A single isotropic cube is subjected to displacements of the outer surfaces, which provide conditions for constant stresses over the volume.
Problem sketch:
Type of created problem:
Spatial farm or volumetric array (X, Y, Z).
Geometric characteristics:
Cube edge: a = 1 m;
Coordinates of points: 1 (0.35, 0.35, 0.35); 2 (0.75, 0.25, 0.25); 3 (0.85, 0.85, 0.15);
4 (0.25, 0.75, 0.25); 5 (0.35, 0.35, 0.65); 6 (0.75, 0.25, 0.75); 7 (0.85, 0.85, 0.85); 8 (0.25, 0.75, 0.75).
Material properties:
Isotropic elastic: E = 1·106 kPa; μ = 0.25.
Boundary conditions:
Absent — the immutability of the system is provided by loads.
Loads:
Node offset: u = 10-3·(2·x + y + z)/2 m; v = 10-3·(x + 2·y + z)/2 m; w = 10-3·(x + y + 2·z)/2 m.
Model description:
The system is modeled by 4 volumetric elements (FE type is 36) and by 6 volumetric elements (FE type is 34).
