SSNL126 - Elastoplastic buckling of one
right beam




Summary:

A slim right beam of circular section is subjected to a compressive force at an end, and is
embedded at the other end. The behavior of material is elastoplastic, with an isotropic work hardening
linear. During the climb in load, one calculates the critical loads of elastic buckling, then
plastic.

Two modelings make it possible to test the criterion of buckling in elastoplasticity:

Voluminal modeling a: mesh, small deformations and small displacements.
Modeling b: voluminal mesh, small deformations and great displacements (GREEN).

5.1
Characteristics of modeling
Voluminal mesh 3D. Great displacements and deformations (but small rotations)

The surface force applied is worth ­ 20 here MPa with T = 1s, in order to pass, during the evolution of
loading, by the critical point.
This load is applied in 10 pitches of time équirépartis.
Two complete calculations are carried out: one with a purely elastic behavior, in order to be able
to compare the result with the elastic solution of reference, and the other with a behavior
elastoplastic.

In the case of great displacements or great deformations, the value of the critical coefficient must
to be interpreted differently of the case small displacements: the structure becomes unstable when
“critical load” is cancelled.

The critical coefficient thus passes well by 0 between moments 6 and 7, and more precisely (curved cf
following) in the neighborhoods of moment 6.5, which corresponds well to the critical load in elasticity.

In elastoplasticity, one tests the moments when the critical coefficient changes sign. The tests are of
not regression since one does not have analytical solution in this case.

Summary of the results
The results as of modeling in small displacements is in conformity with the analytical reference
(less than 2% of variation in plasticity). The results in great displacements cannot be
compared with a reference solution, but the change of sign of the critical coefficient is
conform to the awaited solution.
