SSLP304 - Orthotropic square plate in traction
uniaxial out of the axes of orthotropism




Summary:

This test represents the static calculation of a square plate, out of orthotropic elastic material, of which axes
othotropie are tilted 30 degrees compared to the basic edge, subjected to a uniaxial traction. It allows
to validate the good taking into account of orthotropic elastic materials and the change of associated reference mark.
4 modelings are used:
C_PLAN
with meshs
QUAD8
and
TRIA6
, in a first reference mark,
C_PLAN
in a second reference mark,
COQUE_3D
with meshs
QUAD9
and
TRIA7
, in small displacements and
COQUE_3D
in
great displacements. Displacements and the stresses obtained are compared with a reference solution
analytical.

The first two modelings of this test result from the validation independent of version 3 of
Code_Aster (linear static batch).

Problem of reference
1.1 Geometry
A square plate, made up of a tilted orthotropic material of 30 degrees compared to edge AB.


















With B = 1 m, unspecified thickness (plane stresses), angle of orthotropism:
= 30 degrees.

1.2
Properties of materials
The properties of materials constituting the plate are:
orthotropic rubber band:
E_L = 4.E10 AP
E_T = 1.E10 AP
G_LT = 0.45E10 AP
G_TN = 0.35E10 AP
NU_LT = 0.075
The axis L is tilted 30 degrees compared to AB.

Characteristics of modeling
Modeling C_PLAN. The plate is turned of - 30 degrees around Z, i.e. axis X total
is colinéaire with the axis of orthotropism L. the boundary conditions and loadings, to apply in
identify (A, X, y) related to the plate, are thus projected on the total reference mark (A, X, Y) (use of
LIAISON_DDL in B).

Summary of the results
The results of four modelings are very close to the analytical solution: to the maximum 0.015
% of variation for 4 modelings.
This test thus validates the taking into account of orthotropic elasticity.
