find edges between box and cylinder, and build chamfers (requires OCC 7.4 or newer):

cylboxedges = geo.faces["outer"].edges * geo.faces["cyl"].edges
cylboxedges.name = "cylbox"
geo = geo.MakeChamfer(cylboxedges, 0.03)

name faces for boundary conditions:

geo.faces.Min(X).name = "fix"
geo.faces.Max(X).name = "force"

DrawGeo(geo);

Linear elasticity

Displacement: \(u : \Omega \rightarrow R^3\)

Linear strain:

\[\varepsilon(u) := \tfrac{1}{2} ( \nabla u + (\nabla u)^T )\]

Stress by Hooke’s law:

\[\sigma = 2 \mu \varepsilon + \lambda \operatorname{tr} \varepsilon I\]

Equilibrium of forces:

\[\operatorname{div} \sigma = f\]

Displacement boundary conditions:

\[u = u_D \qquad \text{on} \, \Gamma_D\]

Traction boundary conditions:

\[\sigma n = g \qquad \text{on} \, \Gamma_N\]

Variational formulation:

Find: \(u \in H^1(\Omega)^3\) such that \(u = u_D\) on \(\Gamma_D\)

\[\int_\Omega \sigma(\varepsilon(u)) : \varepsilon(v) \, dx = \int_\Omega f v dx + \int_{\Gamma_N} g v ds\]

holds for all \(v = 0\) on \(\Gamma_D\).
