Reply To: Metal Bulge

[Georgios Panagiotopoulos]

Hi Armin,

Yes, the bulge also occurs in experiments. I tested out many different friction coefficients, but that also did not solve the problem. I tried different boundary conditions and none of them resulted in a bulge, just the gasket tilting upwards. How can the plasticity parameters be changed? I am using the default stainless steel for the gasket. Thanks again!
