A hemisphere of radius 10 m with a uniform thickness of 40 mm is analyzed for a corner point displacement.
An inwards force of 2,000 N in point C is applied, an outwards force of 2,000 N is applied at the point of interest of the displacement (point A). Both force vectors lie on lines that pass through the center point of the hemisphere, which is at the global origin.
