The goal of this example is to demonstrate an irreversible process caused by friction. After the loading and unloading, the end-point is in a different position than where it was at the beginning. Determine the movement of the node in the X direction.
A cable is loaded by means of a uniform load. This causes the deformed shape in the form of the circular segment. Determine the equilibrium force of the cable to obtain the given sag of the cable. The add-on module RF-FORM-FINDING is used for this purpose. Elastic deformations are neglected both in RF-FORM-FINDING and in the analytical solution; self-weight is also neglected in this example.
A member with the given boundary conditions is loaded by torsional moment and axial force. Neglecting its self-weight, determine the beam's maximum torsional deformation as well as its inner torsional moment, defined as the sum of a primary torsional moment and torsional moment caused by the normal force. Provide a comparison of those values while assuming or neglecting the influence of the normal force. The verification example is based on the example introduced by Gensichen and Lumpe.

Maxwell material model consists of the linear spring and viscous damper connected in series. In this verification example there is tested the time behaviour of this model. The Maxwell material model is loaded by constant force Fx. This force causes initial deformation thanks to the spring, the deformation is then growing in time due to the damper. The deformation is observed at time of loading (20 s) and at the end of the analysis (120 s). Time History Analysis with Linear Implicit Newmark method is used.
A quarter-circle beam with a rectangular cross-section is loaded by means of an out-of-plane force. This force causes a bending moment, torsional moment, and transverse force. While neglecting self-weight, determine the total deflection of the curved beam.
A pipe with a tubular cross-section is loaded by internal pressure. This internal pressure causes axial deformation of the pipe (the Bourdon effect). Determine the axial deformation of the pipe endpoint.
