2. Finite Elements Principles and Practices - Fall 03 Introduction to 3D Finite Elements Analysis 3D Solid Elements: Three dimensional solid that is unrestricted as to shape, loading, material properties and boundary conditions. Six stress components and three displacements components are considered. Beam bending, plane stress and plate bending are all special cases of a 3D solid. Solids of Revolution: [Also called Axisymmetric Solid]. These are obtained by revolving a plane figure about an axis in the plane (i.e., nothing varies with the circumferential coordinate, Theta). Material points displace only radially and axially and shear stresses ( ) and ( ) are both zero. r z
