Benchmark Model

Ply laminates are created using Quad4 elements for one quarter model of the cylinder. For Case 1 an internal pressure of 200MPa is applied and for the Case 2 together with the internal pressure, a temperature rise of 130°C is applied.

The material properties are:
Inner Cylinder (Isotropic)
E
2.1 × 105 MPa
υ
0.3
α
2.0 × 10-5°C-1
Outer Cylinder (Circumferentially wound)
E1
1.3 × 105 MPa
υ 12
0.25
E2
5.0 × 103 MPa
α1

3.0 × 10-6°C-1

α2
2.0 × 10-5°C-1
G12
1.0 × 104 MPa
G33
5.0 × 103 MPa
