SSLX102 - Piping bent in bending

Summary:
This test validates the modeling of the phenomena of ovalization in pipings: an elbow, prolonged by
right pipes is subjected to one bending moment. The aforementioned causes in the elbow an ovalization which
propagate and diminishes in the right parts, and which modifies the rigidity of the whole of piping. For
to check the exactitude of the results, one tests the flexibility of the whole of piping (value of displacement with
the end for one imposed moment) and elements of hulls DKT.
The case test comprises six modelings:
·
For modeling A, the elbow is with a grid in hulls (modeling DKT), modeling pipe is
used for the right parts, the connection is ensured by a connection COQUE_TUYAU.
·
For modelings B and C, modeling PIPE is assigned to the whole of piping:
TUYAU_3M for B and TUYAU_6M for C (M = modes of Fourier).
·
In modeling D, piping is with a grid in hulls (elements COQUE_3D), the ends
are with a grid in beams to apply the loadings.
·
Modeling E: Modeling PIPE (3 modes of Fourier) is assigned to the whole of
piping.
·
For modeling F, the elbow is with a grid in voluminal meshs, the right parts in elements
PIPE and the connection is ensured by a connection 3d_TUYAU.
Modeling A makes it possible to validate the good transmission of ovalization (mode 2) between the elements PIPE,
and validates connection COQUE_TUYAU, two modelings B and C make it possible to validate the elements PIPE
(with 3 and 6 modes of Fourier) in linear elasticity and last modeling makes it possible to validate the maid
transmission of ovalization (mode 2) between the elements PIPE, and validates the connection 3d_TUYAU.

15 Summary of the results
This test not having reference solutions analytical, but numerical, the variations noted (in
on this side 2% except 1 value) can be regarded as reasonable.
More precisely, for modeling A (elbow with a grid in hulls DKT and right beams in PIPE)
one can estimate that the solution obtained (2.7% of variation in cross-bending, and 0.4% in bending except plan,
compared to the reference: mesh all in hulls of modeling D) makes it possible to validate the good
operation of connection coque_tuyau.
For modeling B (elements PIPE, 3 modes of Fourier), the important variation on cross-bending
(6.8%) is due to the fact that piping is relatively thin, therefore that ovalization in the made elbow
to appear of the modes of Fourier of a nature higher than 3.
In fact, modeling C (PIPES, 6 modes of Fourier) is very close to the reference (0.01% in
cross-bending, and 2% in bending except plan). The element pipe is thus validated in elasticity for these
loadings, compared to a solution in hulls (modeling D).
Modeling E (elements PIPE with 4 nodes) gives results identical to modeling B,
at a cost of weaker calculation due to a less fine mesh.
