Abstract
A finite-element structural analysis is described for application to problems in which geometry and loading are axisymmetric and material properties are isotropic elastic. An attempt to minimize restrictions imposed on the shape and orientation of the triangular finite-elements has been largely successful. This facilitates use of the analysis, with automatic finite-element mesh generation, in parameter or optimization studies. A series of laboratory tests to verify the analysis are described in which the magnitude and distribution of boundary loading was known within narrow limits.
