SSNA302 - Plate circular simply supported
subjected to pressure



Summary:

This test consists in applying a transverse pressure to a circular, simply supported plate and
composed of an elastic material. It is intended to study the taking into account of nonthe geometrical linearities
particularly in the absence of initial curvature when the transverse stiffness is only due to the effect of
plate.

Modeling is made with voluminal elements of type HEXA20 and PENTA15 and elements
surface of type QUAD8 and TRIA6 for the application of the pressure.

The reference is software the SAMCEF software. One has for information the results resulting from the theory of the hulls
thin.

The control
COMP_ELAS
with the option `
GREEN
'is compared with
COMP_INCR
with the option `
PETIT_REAC
'.

theoretical results related to an assumption of thin the hull type. Then, the results are presented

The values of the stresses are values by element extrapolated with the nodes.
The results obtained with the SAMCEF software are close one to the other.
Variations of results between the mean theory hull and calculation finite element using the assumption hull
thick are important.
One chooses to take as reference the voluminal calculation obtained by the SAMCEF software.

Characteristics of modeling A





Face 1:
Fixing on X








Appear 3.1-a: Face 2: Fixing on y
Only one quarter of plate is modelized. One introduces conditions of symmetry on the two faces
shown above.
Moreover one fixes according to X, y, Z all the nodes of the edge located at semi thickness.
In order to most accurately represent the assumptions of thin hull, stresses are introduced
linear on the degrees of freedom of the nodes of the edge. Those Ci are written:
for two nodes I and J located on both sides of the average layer:
U
I
+ U
J
= 0
v
I
+ v
J
= 0
where U and v indicate displacements along axes X and Y.
The syntax used in the data file of Code_Aster is as follows:
LIAISON_DDL (Node: Nor NR
J
), DDL: (“DX”, “DX”), COEF_MULT: (1, 1), COEF_IMPO: 0
One applies the pressure linearly by using 6 increments.

Summary of the results
The performances in time calculation and precision of the results are satisfactory while using
order
COMP_ELAS
option “
GREEN
”. On the other hand, processing of nonthe geometrical linearities
by the control
COMP_INCR
option “
PETIT_REAC
” provides results rather far away from
reference solution by adopting a discretization in 6 pitches of time which leads to costs in
already important times calculation.
The following table recapitulates the performances (calculating time and iteration count) between
Code_Aster and the SAMCEF software. The number of imposed increments is identical in both cases
(6 increments).
