Hello
i am trying to model simplified model of tympanic membrane. I would like to model 2D sectorial annulus membrane according to followin fig.
My goal is to find natural freq. of this membrane. The parameters i would like to use:
R1=0,5mm (inner radius)
R2=4,5mm (outer radius)
alfa=20deg
E=33MPa
Poissonous ratio = 0,3
density=1200kg/m^3
thicknes=0,1mm
T=35N/mm^2 = 35000000Pa (uniform tension in membrane)
Firstly i used ASYS Design modeler for creating geometry. I created surface with thicknes 0,1mm
Next i defined material properties and boundary conditions in ansys mechanical (fixed inner and outer radius), however i cannot define tension. I need to set T=35MPa in order to achieve pre-stress in structural analysis and then i could go onto modal analysis.
The problem is i cannot apply pressure to edge.
How could i apply uniform tension T=35MPa to entire membrane ? (membrane is considered as prestressed)
Am I doing something worng when applying boundary condition?
Thanks
