11.7. 2D and Axisymmetric Solids

This section contains shape functions for 2D and axisymmetric solid elements. These elements are available in a number of configurations, including certain combinations of the following features:

Triangular
Quadrilateral (with or without extra shape functions [ESF])
With or without midside nodes

11.7.1. 2D and Axisymmetric 3-Node Triangular Solids (CST)

These shape functions are for 2D 3-node and axisymmetric triangular solid elements, such as PLANE13, PLANE182, or PLANE222 with only 3 nodes input:

11.7.3. 2D and Axisymmetric 4-node Quadrilateral Solid Without ESF (Q4)

These shape functions are for the 2D 4-node and axisymmetric quadrilateral solid elements without extra shape functions, such as PLANE13 with KEYOPT(2) = 1 or PLANE222 with KEYOPT(11) = 0.

11.7.4. 2D and Axisymmetric 4-node Quadrilateral Solids With ESF (QM6)

These shape functions are for the 2D 4-node and axisymmetric solid elements with extra shape functions, such as PLANE13 with KEYOPT(2) = 0. (Taylor et al.([50]))

(11–135)

(11–136)

Equation 11–135 is adjusted for axisymmetric situations by removing the u₁ or u₂ term for elements near the centerline, in order to avoid holes or "doubled" material at the centerline.

(11–139)

(11–140)

(11–141)
