Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit
Thin-walled pressure vessel.
Mesh:
A coarse and a fine mesh are tested.
Material:Linear elastic, Young's modulus = 210 GPa, Poisson's ratio = 0.3, density = 7800 kg/m3.
Boundary conditions:
0 at point A. 
0 at point F.
Loading:
Uniform internal pressure of 1.0 MPa. In the explicit dynamic analysis the loading is applied such that a quasi-static solution is obtained.
This is a test recommended by the National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards (U.K.): Test LE7 from NAFEMS Publication TNSB, Rev. 3, “The Standard NAFEMS Benchmarks,” October 1990.
Target solution: Axial stress, 
25.9 MPa on the outer surface at point D.
The results are shown in the following table. The values enclosed in parentheses are percentage differences from the target solution.
