btruebood,
thanks for your suggstions,
ya, i understand the your beam example. If suppose i have closed vessel. Is there any chance to vessel come into geometrical nonlinearity? my question is to what are the other parameters to components get in to the geometrical nonlinearity except radious...
I heard 3 reasons to use Geometrical nonlinear behaviour.
1)FE elements completely distoretd then will use Geometrical nonlinear behaviour.
2)If plastic strain is 6-10%
3)In metal forming process.
Can any body discuss with topic?
thanks RON and cockroach for Ur valuable answers.
But i have done experiment by changing the element size, i got much change in stress, negligible change in displacement.
but over thumb rule is stress is directly proportional to strain with E linear. can u clarify this two and concluded to one.
