Verification by Simple-Shaped Model¶
Elastic static analysis¶
This verification was performed with a mesh-divided cantilever, as shown in Fig. 9.1.1. The analysis was performed with seven load conditions, exA–exG, as illustrated in Fig. 9.1.2. Please note that exG has the same load conditions as those of exA using the direct method solver.
The verification result of each load condition is presented in Tables 9.1.1–9.1.7.

Contact analysis (2): Hertz contact problem¶
In this verification, the Hertz contact problem between a cylinder of infinite length and an infinite plane was analyzed. The cylinder’s radius was R=8 mm, and the deformable body’s Young’s modulus E and Poisson’s ratio µ were 1100 MPa and 0.0, respectively. Moreover, assuming that the contact area was much smaller than the cylinder’s radius, and also considering the symmetry of the problem, the analysis was performed with a quarter model of the cylinder.

(1) Verification results of contact radius¶
The theoretical formula to calculate the contact radius is as follows:

(3) Eigenvalue analysis¶
The verification models of exJ and exK are the same as those of exA–G. A schematic diagram of the verification model is shown in Fig. 9.1.9. An eigenvalue analysis was performed for this model to determine the primary, secondary, and tertiary eigenvalues. The iteration and direct method solvers were used for exJ and exK, respectively. Furthermore, the verification results are presented in Tables 9.1.9–9.1.12.

The vibration eigenvalue of the cantilever is determined by the following equations:
Primary : [ n_1 = \frac{1.875^2}{2 \pi l^2} \sqrt{ \frac{gEI}{\omega} } ]
Secondary : [ n_2 = \frac{4.694^2}{2 \pi l^2} \sqrt{ \frac{gEI}{\omega} } ]
Tertiary : [ n_3 = \frac{7.855^2}{2 \pi l^2} \sqrt{ \frac{gEI}{\omega} } ]
The property values of the verification model are:
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| \(I\) | \(10.0 mm\) |
| \(E\) | \(4000.0 kgf /mm^2\) |
| \(l\) | \(1.0/12.0 mm^4\) |
| \(\omega\) | \(7.85 * 10^{-6} kgf/mm^3\) |
| \(g\) | \(9800.0 mm/sec^2\) |
Therefore, the primary to tertiary eigenvalue are as follows:

The common conditions for the steady-state heat conduction analysis are shown in Fig. 9.1.10. The individual conditions for the verification cases exM–exT are shown in Fig. 9.1.11. The mesh division used here is equivalent to that of 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 was performed on the same mesh-divided cantilever that was discussed earlier in the Elastic static analysis subsection, with the verification conditions shown in Fig. 9.1.12. The objective was to verify the impact of time increment on the results with the same mesh division. Both the implicit and explicit methods of dynamic analysis and the element types 361 and 342 were used. The verification results are presented in Table 9.1.22 and shown in Figs. 9.1.13–9.1.15.

(6) Frequency response analysis¶
In this verification, a frequency response analysis was performed on a cantilever, and the results were compared with those obtained using a commercial FEM code. The analysis model and verification conditions are presented 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:
