SSLV110 - Elliptic fissure in an infinite medium




Summary:

It is about a test in statics for a three-dimensional problem. This test makes it possible to calculate the rate of refund
of energy total and local on the bottom of fissure by the method
.

The radii of the crowns of integration are variable along the fissure, and the rate of refund of energy
room is calculated according to 2 different methods (LEGENDRE and LAGRANGE).

The interest of the test is the validation of the method
in 3D and following points:
·
comparison between the results and an analytical solution,
·
stability of the results according to the crowns of integration,
·
comparison between 2 methods different for calculation from G local,
·
2 cases of equivalent loadings (pressure distributed and voluminal loading).

This test contains 4 different modelings.

The 3rd modeling tests the derivative of G compared to the parameters material and loading.

Reference solution
2.1
Method of calculation used for the reference solution
The reference solution is an analytical solution resulting from SIH [bib1] and [bib2].
It is noted that the angle
indicate here the parametric angle of the point M (angle compared to axis OX of
projected M on the circle of radius b) and not the polar co-ordinate of this point.

Results of modeling A
4.1 Values
tested
The values tested are:
·
the total rate of refund of energy G,
·
the rate of refund of energy room G in all the nodes of the bottom of fissure.
The mesh includes/understands only one of the lips of the fissure, it is thus necessary to use the key word
“SYME_CHAR”
automatically to multiply by 2 in calculation Aster the rate of refund of energy calculated
by virtual extension of the single lip.
In the same way, G total calculated here corresponds to the quarter of G of reference defined previously, only one
eighth of parallelepiped being represented.

The results are rather stable between the crowns safe at the point B where the variation of G (S) is more
large and results far away from the reference solution. One can explain this variation by the mesh
of poor quality.

11 Summary of the results
Calculation of G local:
·
2 methods (LEGENDRE and LAGRANGE) give the same results appreciably
(less than 5% of error compared to the analytical solution) except at the point B (not end
ellipse on the large axis) where the Lagrange method is most precise,
·
loading case: the values obtained with the voluminal loading are slightly
higher than those obtained with imposed stresses (including for the values of G).
The differences are tiny and due to numerical integrations different on the term from
volume and the term of edge.
Calculation of derived from G:
·
the errors on the derivative of G are weak and comparable with those on G.
