SSNL501 - Beam fixed at the two ends
subjected to a uniform pressure




Summary:

This test represents a quasi-static calculation of a fixed beam subjected to a uniform pressure,
composed of a perfectly plastic elastic material. This test makes it possible to validate modelings elements
stop following:
·
COQUE_C_PLAN (SEG3),
·
DKT (TRIA3 and QUAD4),
·
COQUE_3D (TRIA7 and QUAD9),
·
POU_D_T (SEG2).

The limiting pressure is compared with an analytical reference solution.

4.2 Remarks
The width for modeling COQUE_C_PLAN is imposed on 1 in Code_Aster. In
consequence, we multiplied by 1/B the loading to take account of the real width of
beam.
In this analysis one uses to find the solution, a technique of resolution of the type
imposed displacement (“DDL_IMPO”). This method provides for each value of displacement
imposed, a multiplying coefficient of the loading (“ETA_PILOTAGE”). The value of the loading
imposed in “AFFE_CHAR_MECA” is equal to the limiting pressure, consequently the value of
reference of parameter “ETA_PILOTAGE” is equal to 1.

In this analysis, one uses to find the solution, a technique of resolution of the type
imposed displacement (“DDL_IMPO”). This method provides for each value of displacement
imposed, a multiplying coefficient of the loading (“ETA_PILOTAGE”). The value of the loading
imposed in “AFFE_CHAR_MECA” is equal to the limiting pressure, consequently the value of
reference of parameter “ETA_PILOTAGE” is equal to 1.
Calculations were stopped when the value of parameter ETA_PILOTAGE was stabilized.

15 Summary of the results
On the figure below, we present the evolution of normal displacement at the center of the plate in

It is observed that:
·
modelings comprising of the quadrangles give better results, by report/ratio
with the meshs triangles.
Calculations were stopped when the value of parameter ETA_PILOTAGE was stabilized, or
when calculation was not possible any more. Taking into account the mesh used, the results obtained are
satisfactory. The errors observed are for modelings:
·
COQUE_C_PLAN: 6.9% (
With),
·
DKT:11.4% for mesh TRIA3 (
B) and 9.9% for mesh QUAD4 (C),
·
COQUE_3D: 16% for mesh TRIA7 (
D) and 10.8% for mesh QUAD9 (E),
·
POUT_D_T:11% (
F).
But one notes that with a finer mesh at the ends and the center of the plate, place or
plasticization appears, it is possible to minimize the error compared to the reference solution.
