SSNP110 - Fissure edge in a plate
rectangular finished in elastoplasticity




Summary:

This test is a case test in nonlinear breaking process.

One calculates the rate of refund of energy G in a rectangular plate finished, fissured and subjected to one
loading of traction. The law of behavior used is an elastoplastic law of Von Mises without
work hardening.

This case test includes/understands two plane modelings in 2D forced in order to study the influence of the catch in
count or not terms of second command of the deformations (DEFORMATION = “SMALL” or “GREEN” in
operator STAT_NON_LINE). The stability of the result of the calculation of G by the method théta (CALC_G_THETA_T)
is also checked.

3.1
Characteristics of modeling
It is about a calculation in elastoplasticity under the assumption of small displacements.
3.2
Characteristics of the mesh
The mesh, built with an automatic procedure gibi, consists of 400 elements
quadratic (1000 nodes). Cores are defined in bottom of fissure in order to improve the precision of
calculation in breaking process, cf [Figure 3.2-a] below. The radius of the largest core is of
1,5 Misters.

Results of modeling A
4.1 Values
tested
The values of the rate of refund are tested for five values of imposed horizontal displacement
.
One compares the results obtained for three different crowns of integration:
· crown 1: R
inf
= 0,15 mm; R
sup
= 0,6 mm
· crown 2: R
inf
= 0,3 mm; R
sup
= 0,9 mm
· crown 3: R

= 0,9 mm; R
sup
= 1,5 mm

The results are satisfactory: the maximum variation enters the values of G obtained on the three
crowns of integration is lower than 2%.

The results are satisfactory: the maximum variation enters the values of G obtained on the three
crowns of integration is lower than 2%.
The effect of the terms of second command in the deformation is relatively weak: the variation enters them

and is worth to the maximum 6%,

Summary of the results
This case test makes it possible to be ensured of the invariance of the calculation of the rate of refund of energy by
method théta according to the crowns of integration for laws of behavior of the type
plastic rubber band-perfectly.
The weak contribution of the terms of second command in the deformation is highlighted.
