6.3.1. LS-DYNA SOLVE Test Cases

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-022: Statically Indeterminate Reaction Force Analysis: An assembly of three prismatic bars is supported at both end faces and is axially loaded with forces F1 and F2. Find the reaction forces in the Y direction at the fixed supports.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-023: I-Shape Beam Deflection Under Uniformly Distributed Loads: A standard WF beam is loaded on the overhangs by a uniformly distributed load. Determine the deflection at the middle of the beam.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-024: Deflection of a Hinged Support: A structure consisting of two equal steel bars with hinged ends is subjected to the action of a load. Determine the deflection of the hinged end.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-025: Laterally Loaded Tapered Support Structure: A cantilever beam tapers uniformly, with the large end attached to a wall. It is loaded by a force at the tip. Find the maximum bending stress at the fixed end of the beam.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-026: Radial Displacement of a Pinched Cylinder: A thin-walled cylinder is pinched by a force at the middle of the cylinder length. Determine the radial displacement at the point where force is applied.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-027: 3D Taylor Cylinder Impact: The Taylor cylinder impact test uses a right circular cylinder made of a test material which impacts a theoretically rigid target. The deformed cylinder after impact will be compared with the modeled results from the reference.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-028: 2D Taylor Cylinder Impact: The Taylor cylinder impact test uses a right circular cylinder of a test material which impacts a theoretically rigid target. In this test, an OFHC copper cylinder impacts a rigid plate. The deformed cylinder after impact will be compared with the modeled results from reference.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-029: Heat Transfer from a Cooling Spine: A steel cooling spine extends from a wall that is maintained at a given temperature. The tip of the spine is insulated. Find the heat conducted by the spine and the temperature of the tip.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-030: Bending of Long Plate Subjected to Moment - Plane Strain Model: A long, rectangular plate is fixed along the longitudinal face, and the opposite face is subjected to a moment of 5000 lbf-in about the Z axis. Find the X normal stress at a distance of 0.5 inches from the fixed support as well as the total deformation and reaction moment.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-031: Deflection of Beam using Symmetry and Anti-Symmetry: A long bar with simply supported ends is subjected to lateral load of 1000 N at a distance of 8 m from one end. Find the deformation in the Y direction at 8 m from the simply supported end. A symmetrical and asymmetrical test case is considered.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-032: Fundamental Frequency of a Simply-Supported Beam: Determine the fundamental frequency of a simply supported beam of 80 in.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-033: Combined Bending and Torsion of Beam: A vertical bar is subjected to the action of a horizontal force acting at a distance from the axis of the bar. Determine the maximum principal stress.

6.3.2. LS-DYNA EMAG Test Cases

  • VM-LS-DYNA-EMAG-009: Hollow Conducting Sphere in a Uniform Magnetic Field: A hollow conducting sphere is in a uniform field that varies sinusoidally with time. Determine the real and imaginary values of the magnetic field along a given axis.

  • VM-LS-DYNA-EMAG-010: Asymmetrical Conductor with a Hole: A thick aluminum plate with a hole, which is placed eccentrically and set unsymmetrically in a non-uniform magnetic field. Determine the real and imaginary parts of the magnetic flux between the coil and plate and compare with reference results.

  • VM-LS-DYNA-EMAG-011: Long Cylinder in a Uniform Sinusoidal Field: An infinitely long cylinder has a uniform field of 0.1 Tesla at 60 Hz that is applied perpendicular to its axis. The objective of the test is to measure the amplitude and phase of the magnetic field along the Y axis.
