SSNL125 - Traction of a fragile bar:
damage with gradient




Summary:

This test allows the validation of the fragile law of damage gradient in a unidimensional situation
nonhomogeneous. From its character 1D, this problem admits an analytical solution which exhibe two modes
boundary layers: one finite length (existence of a free border enters the damaged area and the area
healthy) and the other infinite length (it extends to the border from the part).

Problem of reference
1.1 Geometry


The studied structure is a 15 mm length bar. The problem being purely 1D, its section is
without influence.

1.2
Properties of material
The material obeys a law of fragile elastic behavior (
ENDO_FRAGILE
) with gradient
of damage (modeling
* _GRAD_VARI
).

1.3
Conditions of loading
One forces the left part of the bar (5 mm length) to remain rigid (blocking of the degrees of
freedom of displacement). As for the right part of the bar, it is subjected to an axial deformation
uniform
0
, i.e. with an imposed displacement whose spatial distribution is linear. Only one
parameter thus controls the intensity of the loading: the level of imposed deformation
0
.
In the directions perpendicular to the axis of the bar, displacements are locked: the problem
is purely 1D. Moreover, as the Poisson's ratio is null, no stress of fastening
develops in these directions.

Reference solution
In the case of the law of behavior to gradients of damage [R5.03.18], two equations with
derivative partial must be solved: the equilibrium equation and the equation of behavior. To obtain
an analytical solution proves generally delicate, even for unidimensional structures.
To validate nevertheless this model, one sticks to a simpler problem for which the equation
of balance need does not have to be solved, i.e. the field of displacement is fixed everywhere.
The equation of behavior is then controlled by the elastic deformation energy
W
known in all
not space.
2.1
Characterization of the solution
More precisely, one considers a bar of which a part is obligation to remain without deformation
while the other is subjected to a homogeneous deformation. One studies the boundary layer then
of damage which develops with the interface of these two areas. The differential equation of
behavior is as follows in the areas where the criterion is reached, i.e. where
the damage evolves/moves:

Resolution of the problem in the discharged area
In the area with null deformation (

), the integral first [éq 2.1-4] seems an equation
differential with separable variable. Taking into account [éq 2.1-6] and definition of
0

conduit initially with the following implicit equation:

the intégrande being positive and

undervalued by

Consequently, if the length of the area noncharged is larger than this terminal, the solution
[éq 2.2-1] is not valid any more. That comes owing to the fact that it was supposed that the criterion was reached everywhere for
to write the equation [éq 2.1-1].
Henceforth, it is supposed that the length

is higher on the terminal [éq 2.2-3]. The boundary layer

Thus, it appears that the profile of damage is completely controlled by its value into 0, i.e.,
taking into account the condition of continuity [éq 2.1-5], by what occurs in the area charged.

2.3
Resolution of the problem in the area charged
In the area with null deformation (
1
=
I
), the integral first [éq 2.1-4] also seems
a differential equation with separable variable. Taking into account [éq 2.1-6] and definition of
1

its integration leads initially to the following implicit equation (with the help of

the extreme damage

homogeneous answer.

Determination of the damage to the interface
Let us reconsider the step of integration. Initially, we awaited four constants of integration:
0
C

1
C
and the two resulting one from the integration of the integrals first [éq 2.1-4]. Then, to both
constants
0
C
and
1
C
were substituted the two extreme values of damage
0
has
and
1
has
, they
also unknown. By exploiting the boundary conditions of Neumann in [éq 2.1-6], one has
implicitly given two complementary constants of integration not to express the profiles
of damage that according to the only values
0
has
and
1
has
, to see the equations [éq 2.2-1] and
[éq 2.3-1]. Finally, one substituted for the constants

and
1
has
the value of the damage with
the interface

0

has
, equalizes on the left and on the right since the jump of
has
y
is null. This substitution is
operated by noticing that the damaged area is of size finished in the discharged area,
contrary to the area charged where we privileged an approached solution, simpler on
analytical plan.
Consequently, there remains nothing any more but one constant of integration to be determined, the damage with
the interface

thanks to the last unutilised condition, the nullity of the jump of derived with the interface.
Thus, by evaluating the two integrals first in
