Critical Buckling Load to Number of Elements
Critical buckling load to number of elements
This image shows the results of a mesh convergence study to analyze the critical load of an aluminum shell with different mesh sizes. It displays the critical load as a function of the number of elements (left) and its reciprocal. The analytically determined ideal load is also displayed.
