Why is the Total Reaction Force Zero in My Ansys Hoop Analysis?

AI Thread Summary
In the Ansys hoop analysis of a 550mm diameter, 7mm thick hoop subjected to a 1mm displacement, the total reaction force calculated was 0.0004N, which appears too low. The stress level of 730MPa is normal, but the low reaction force is attributed to the nature of the hoop structure, where forces are balanced and total force approximates zero. Each force vector has a corresponding negative vector at another node, leading to this result. By plotting the results at a quarter of the face and multiplying by four, the true reaction force can be determined. Understanding this balance in forces is crucial for accurate analysis in structural simulations.

i am working on a hoop and its 550mm diameter, 7mm thickness. I applied 1mm displacement from its upper face which is normal to its direction.Stress is 730Mpa which is normal but the total reaction force is 0.0004N which is too low. where do i make the mistake.Material is structural steel.
problem is shown here.

it's weird there is no reply to my post.Maybe ıts because ı am not a native speaker and couldn't tell my problem.But at last I understand the problem. Total force approximates zero since its a hoop and total force should be zero.Each force vector has its negative at another node. when you plot the results at the quarter of the face and multiply it four times you get the true results.
 
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...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
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...
