SDLV120 - Absorption of a wave of compression
in an elastic bar




Summary

One tests the elastic paraxial elements of command 0 intended to apply conditions absorbing to
border of a mesh finite elements to simulate the infinite one in direct transitory calculations.
Are used they to modelize an infinite elastic bar, in 3D or 2D, in which one creates a wave of
pressure by imposing a displacement on the one of the ends. One is interested in nonthe reflection of the wave in
the “infinite” end of the bar.
One tests successively the two direct transitory operators of Code_Aster, namely
DYNA_LINE_TRAN
and
DYNA_NON_LINE
.

Problem of reference
1.1 Geometry
The system considered in the case 3D is that of an elastic bar with square section. One is imposed
displacement according to
X
on one of the vertical faces and one the propagation of a wave observes of
compression. The side surface of the bar is left free. One places the elements absorbents on
face opposed to the face of excitation to simulate the infinite character of the bar in this direction.
In the case 2D, the principle is identical with a very broad supposed bar which one does not modelize
that a vertical section (see diagram).

Boundary conditions and loadings
One imposes on all the nodes of the face of the piston in contact with the fluid a displacement according to X
with the function of following temporal excitation:

Reference solution
The solution must show the absorption of a wave of compression by absorbing surface.
imposed displacement is a uniform translation according to the axis of
X
. One must obtain a field of
identical displacement according to this direction in all the plans
X
= Cte. Moreover, the border
absorbing is orthogonal with this axis. One thus studies the absorption of plane waves of compression
under normal angle of attack. The theory [bib1] known as that with a solid paraxial border of command 0, this
absorption is perfect. It is what one must check with this reference solution.
One thus goes, by observing the evolution of displacement in a given point of the mesh, to stick to
to find in the signal obtained the duration of excitation and the return at rest after the passage of the wave,
characteristic of its absorption.
2.1
Results of reference
One gives in this paragraph the results obtained with Code_Aster in this configuration. One
check that they are satisfactory and one takes them as reference for the future.
They concern, for the case 3D, the bar being 200 m length, the evolution of displacement in X
in a point of the bar located at 150 m of the face excited in the direction
X
and in the center of the section
in the plan
yz
. For the case 2D, the bar being 50 m length, the point is located at 40 m of
face according to
X
and in the middle of the section in the direction
y
(in 2D, one takes a shorter mesh and
refined).

As envisaged, the width of the signal measured in both cases is identical to that of the function
of excitation. Physically, one observes the wave propagation well of compression. The signal is
little modified in its propagation and one thus finds well the maximum amplitude of 1 Misters One notes
also clearly the return at rest immediately after the passage of the wave and the absence of
signal thought of the end of the mesh.
2.2 Uncertainties
It is about a numerical result of the study. The qualitative forecasts are found. Values
numerical are related to the precision of calculation. Only the return at rest is precisely given by
analysis.

Summary of the results
One finds by calculation with two modelings quantitatively, the maximum of displacement
equal to the maximum amplitude of the signal and qualitatively, the return at rest after the passage of
the wave.
Results obtained with the operators
DYNA_LINE_TRAN
and
DYNA_NON_LINE
are very close.
The difference comes from obtaining to each pitch in time from the state from balance from the efforts from the second
member with the operator
DYNA_NON_LINE
, which explains why its results are a little bit
better even with a pitch of larger time. This difference remains however tiny because the pitch
time used with
DYNA_LINE_TRAN
is sufficiently small.
