    Ansys Apdl Block
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing two cylinders made of different materials with a rigid block between them using ANSYS APDL. The user is experiencing stress discontinuity at the interface, where the stress at the outer radius of the inner cylinder does not match the stress at the inner radius of the outer cylinder. Suggestions include using a contact condition instead of directly connecting nodes, as this may help maintain stress continuity while allowing for displacement discontinuity. The user aims to implement a specific displacement condition but finds that using the CE command results in doubled stress values. The challenge lies in achieving the desired analytical conditions without compromising stress continuity.

i want to analyse a two cylinders of different materials between which a rigid block of certain width exists. I am using CE command to connect the nodes of both the cylinders and the constant in Ce equation denotes the width of the the rigid block. When i solve the above problem , stress continuity is not maintained in both cylinders.that is, the stress at the outer radius of the inner cylinder is not equal to the stress at the inner radius of the outer cylinder.

Have you considered using a contact condition instead of directly connecting nodes? If it is a tangent condition it may be only a single node will be connected, which will result in a stress discontinuity due to the infinitesimal contact area.

I am using CE so that i can implement the following condition:
UX1=n*UX2;
analytically i only want displacement discontinuity but when Implement CE ,the stress also becomes double . I want to maintain stress continuity but want displacement discontinuity.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
