SSNA108 - Models of Weibull and Rice and Tracey




Summary:

This test of nonlinear quasi-static mechanics makes it possible to validate the models of Weibull and Rice -
Tracey in 2D (control
POST_ELEM
) in the case of a notched axisymmetric test-tube subjected to one
simple tensile test.

The modeling of the test-tube is carried out with elements 2D (QUA8).

Problem of reference
1.1 Geometry
A notched cylindrical test-tube is considered:
·
diameter of the test-tube: 18 mm,
·
radius of the notch: 5 Misters.

Properties of material
One adopts an elastoplastic law of behavior of Von Mises with isotropic work hardening
“TRACTION”
whose traction diagram is given point by point:

The deformations used in the relation of behavior are the linearized deformations.
Young modulus E amounts to 200 GPa while the Poisson's ratio
is worth 0,3.
