PROBLEM 3. The cross-section of a long steel axle shown in the figure has a radius of 50 mm . A linearly varying pressure load is applied to right and left sides of the axle and its maximum value is 800 MPa .
(a) model the cross-section of disc with two constant strain triangles (use the symmetry of geometry and loads, i.e. a quarter model)
(b) determine the nodal displacements and draw the deformed and undeformed shapes
(c) calculate the element stresses.
(d) compare the Constant Strain Triangle (with three nodes) and the Lineer Strain Triangle elements (with six nodes) according to the modelling of the geometry and accuracy of the results.
