SSNL503 - Elastoplastic ruin of a bent pipe
thin




Summary:

This test consists in calculating the elastoplastic ruin of a thin bent pipe subjected to a bending in its plan
and with a pressure interns with basic effect. It makes it possible to validate modeling finite elements PIPE (SEG3
and SEG4) and TUYAU_6M (SEG3) in the quasi-static field in non-linear material.

The results obtained are compared with a numerical reference solution obtained with the computer code
(ABAQUS).

Reference solution
2.1
Method of calculation used for the reference solution
The reference solution was obtained numerically with ABAQUS 5.5. The mesh used is
constituted of elements ELBOW31 to 2 nodes with 6 modes of Fourier. The discretization used is
following:
·
Part AB: 24 elements,
·
Part BC: 8 elements,
·
Part CD: 12 elements.
Integration in the section is as follows:
·
7 layers in the thickness,
·
18 sectors in the circumferential direction.

4.2 Remarks
At the time of stage A, one gradually imposes the internal pressure and the effort due to the basic effect on
the interval of time 0<t<10. Then (stage B), one gradually imposes the bending moment on
the interval of time 10<t<20. To solve, one forces at the time of the stage B an increase in
rotation DRZ of 0.4 rad to the solution obtained at the time of stage A.

PIPE (SEG3)
The results obtained for modeling PIPE (SEG3 and SEG4) are rather far away from the solution
of reference, (error of 20%). On the other hand, they are better for modeling TUYAU_6M (error
from 6%).
The deformation of the transverse section in the elbow is represented better by modeling
TUYAU_6M, adapted better to the modeling of the thin pipes. In this modeling, them
displacements of the average surface of the pipe are broken up into Fourier series until command 6,
instead of 3 for modeling PIPE. The modeling of reference uses a decomposition in
Fourier series until command 6.
