Verification by Simple-Shaped Model¶
Elastic static analysis¶
This verification uses a cantilever beam meshed as shown in Figure 9.1.1. Analyses were performed for seven cases, exA through exG, with the loading conditions varied as shown in Figure 9.1.2. Case exG has the same loading conditions as exA, but uses a direct solver.
The verification result of each load condition is presented in Tables 9.1.1–9.1.7.

Contact Analysis (1)¶
This verification problem is based on the National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards (U.K.) contact patch test problem CGS-4, and tests the finite-sliding contact capability with friction. Figure 9.1.5 shows the analysis model.

Fig. 9.1.5 Contact analysis model
The equilibrium condition for this problem is as follows.
In the sticking-friction stage, the friction force is [ f_{c} = E_{t}\text{Δu} ] and in the sliding-friction stage, it is [ f_{c} = \mu(G \cos \alpha + F \sin \alpha) ] .
The comparison between the calculation results and the analysis solution is as follows.

Contact analysis (2): Hertz contact problem¶
This verification analyzes the Hertz contact problem between an infinitely long cylinder and an infinite plane. The cylinder radius is R=8mm, and the Young's modulus E and Poisson's ratio µ of the deformable body are 1100Mpa and 0.0, respectively. The contact area is assumed to be sufficiently small compared with the cylinder radius, and considering the symmetry of the problem, a quarter-cylinder model is analyzed.
Fig. 9.1.6 Analysis model for the Hertz contact problem
(1) Verification results of contact radius¶
The theoretical formula to calculate the contact radius is as follows:
where [ E^{*} = E/2(1 - \mu^{2}) ] . Under the present calculation conditions, when the pressure is \(F=100\), the contact radius is \(a=1.36\).
Figure 9.1.7 shows the equivalent nodal forces at the contact points. The contact radius is obtained by extrapolating this nodal-force distribution.

Fig. 9.1.7 Equivalent nodal-force distribution at the contact points
(2) Verification Results for Maximum Shear Stress¶
In the theoretical solution, at the contact position [ z = 0.78a ] the maximum shear stress is [ \tau_{\max} = 0.30\sqrt{\frac{\text{FE}^{*}}{\pi R}} ] . Under the present calculation conditions, [ \tau_{\max} = 14.2 ] . In comparison, the calculation gives [ \tau_{\max} = 15.6 ] .
Fig. 9.1.8 Shear-stress distribution (maximum value = 15.6)
(3) Modal Analysis¶
The verification models for cases exJ and exK are identical to the models for cases exA through exG. Figure 9.1.9 shows a schematic of the verification model. A modal analysis is performed on this model. The first through third eigenvalues are calculated. Case exJ uses an iterative solver, whereas case exK uses a direct solver. The verification results are shown in Tables 9.1.9 through 9.1.12.
Fig. 9.1.9 Verification model
The natural frequencies of the cantilever beam are obtained from the following equations.
First mode [ n_1 = \frac{1.875^2}{2 \pi l^2} \sqrt{ \frac{gEI}{\omega} } ] Second mode [ n_2 = \frac{4.694^2}{2 \pi l^2} \sqrt{ \frac{gEI}{\omega} } ] Third mode [ n_3 = \frac{7.855^2}{2 \pi l^2} \sqrt{ \frac{gEI}{\omega} } ]
The property values of the verification model are
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| \(I\) | \(10.0 mm\) |
| \(E\) | \(4000.0 kgf /mm^2\) |
| \(l\) | \(1.0/12.0 mm^4\) |
| \(\omega\) | \(7.85 * 10^{-6} kgf/mm^3\) |
| \(g\) | \(9800.0 mm/sec^2\) |
Thus, the eigenvalues up to the third mode are as follows:

(4) Heat conduction analysis¶
The common conditions for the steady-state heat-conduction analyses are shown in Figure 9.1.10. The individual conditions for verification cases exM through exT are shown in Figure 9.1.11. The mesh division is equivalent to that used for exA.
The verification results (temperature distribution table) of each case are presented in Tables 9.1.13–9.1.20.

(5) Linear dynamic analysis¶
In exW, a linear dynamic analysis is performed on the same cantilever beam as in item (1). Figure 9.1.12 shows the verification conditions. For the same mesh division, the effect of the time increment on the results is verified. Both implicit and explicit time-integration methods are used, with element types 361 and 342. The verification results are shown in Table 9.1.22 and Figures 9.1.13 through 9.1.15.


The theoretical solution for vibration point displacement is as follows:

Frequency Response Analysis¶
In this verification, a frequency-response analysis is performed on a cantilever beam and validated by comparison with results from a general-purpose commercial solver. The analysis model and verification conditions are shown below.

Analysis conditions:
| Young's modulus | \(E\) | \(210000\ N/mm^2\) |
| Poisson's ratio | \(\nu\) | \(0.3\) |
| Density | \(\rho\) | \(7.89E-09\ t/mm^3\) |
| Gravitational acceleration | \(g\) | \(9800.0\ mm/s^2\) |
| Load | \(F_0\) | \(1.0\ N\) |
| Parameter of Rayleigh damping | \(R_m\) | \(0.0\) |
| Parameter of Rayleigh damping | \(R_k\) | \(7.2E-07\) |
The eigenvalues up to the fifth order and the frequency response of the vibration points obtained from eigenvalue analysis are as follows:
| mode | FrontISTR | Commercial |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 14952 | 14952 |
| 2 | 15002 | 15003 |
| 3 | 84604 | 84539 |
| 4 | 84771 | 84697 |
| 5 | 127054 | 126852 |
