Numerical Results
The following video shows how to plot the deformed shape and use it to check if the our boundary conditions (displacement constraints and point load) have been applied correctly.

The hoop, axial and radial stresses can be found in a similar fashion.

A really neat way to represent hoop stress graphically is by using the “path” tool in ANSYS. The following video shows how to display stress as a function of radius much like the figure below.

The “path” tool can also be used to show the axial and radial stresses along the top edge. Try it!
The next video shows how to display the full 3d model by revolving the 2D section 360° about the y-axis. Note that it comes from it different project, but the steps are the same.

As we saw in the previous video, the maximum deformation is 0.0178". From this, we can calculate the normalized maximum deformation which, if you recall, is defined as follows:
The normalized maximum deformation comes out to be 0.0066. This value needs to be compared with the value predicted by Euler-Bernoulli beam theory.
