SSLS502 - Orthotropic cylinder subjected to a line
of load




Summary:

This test represents quasi-static calculation, of a short orthotropic cylinder and an orthotropic long cylinder
subjected to a line of load. Their ends, the cylinders rest on rigid diaphragms. This case
test makes it possible to validate modeling finite elements DST with meshs TRIA3 and QUAD4, a material
homogeneous orthotropic.

Displacements and the efforts obtained are compared with a reference solution experimental like to
an analytical solution.

We will use for this test two reference solutions, one experimental, resulting from work from
Schwaighofer and Microys [bib2], the other drawn from work of Batoz in theory of the deep hulls
[bib1].

One can note that beyond the variations observed on the points tested C, F, D, normal displacement
calculated along CD is close to the solution in theory “deep hulls” adopted by Batoz
[bib1]. One can charge the errors relating to the points F and D to the low value of the displacement (of
the command of 10
­ 5
m).

One can note that the stresses calculated along CD are overall in agreement with the solution
in theory “deep hulls” adopted by Batoz [bib1].

4.4 Remarks
·
The values of coefficients CISA_L and CISA_T are not available. Like the structure
is thin (H/R=0.045), one supposes that the effects of transverse shearing are negligible,
we thus imposed CISA_L=CISA_T=10
10
.
·
Displacement W normal (figure of [§4.2]) is expressed in the local cylindrical reference mark (R,
, Z), it
acts of normal displacement to the element of hull. Displacement W tested with [§4.1] is as for
he expressed in the total reference mark (displacement following Z).

10.2 Remarks
·
The value of coefficients CISA_L and CISA_T are not available. As the structure is
thin (H/R=0.045), that the effects of transverse shearing are negligible, us are supposed
thus imposed CISA_L=CISA_T=10

.
·
Displacement W normal is expressed in the local cylindrical reference mark (R,
, Z), it acts of
normal displacement with the element of hull. Displacement W tested is that of the total reference mark
(displacement following Z).

One can note that beyond the variation observed on the experimental value at the point D, displacement
normal calculated along CD is very close to the solution in adopted theory “deep hulls”
by Batoz [bib1].

11 Summary of the results
The results are as a whole satisfactory. The specific variations which appear at the points
tested, in particular the point D, seem due to the experimental uncertainty, undoubtedly reinforced by
an uncertainty as for the graphic taking away.
A contrario, the solutions suggested by Batoz in theory “deep hulls” are well checked by
four modelings, with relative errors of less than 5% for the long cylinder.
It appears that:
·
modelings TRIA3 and QUAD4 are appreciably equivalent for this problem,
·
the relative errors are much weaker for the long cylinder (modelings C and D)
that for the cylinder runs (modelings A and B): at the point F, the error is reduced of a factor
10 compared to the reference solution of Batoz,
·
the refinement of the mesh does not minimize in a decisive way the relative variations, so much with
TRIA3 that with the QUAD4.
It is thus noted that the results are degraded when the report/ratio length on the diameter
decrease, indeed the geometrical effects become important with this type of modeling. It would be
desirable to be able to carry out a calculation in finite elements of hulls in orthotropic medium, in order to
to better take into account the curvature, the plates constituting a borderline case.
