SSNP113 - Rotation of the main stresses
(law of MAZARS)




Summary:

This case test of mechanics is inspired by work of Willam [bib1] and was used in the benchmark
EDF/Division R & D “Model three-dimensional of non-linear behaviors of the material concrete in
cracking “[bib2] to evaluate the models of behavior dedicated to the concrete. It is characterized by a way
of specific loading which creates a continuous rotation of the main stresses. It is used here to test
establishment of the model of Mazars in its local version (modeling
3D
) and in its delocalized version
(modeling
3d_GRAD_EPSI
). The validation is carried out by comparison with the results obtained with
code CASTEM 2000 with the LGCNSN (Central School of Nantes).

The loading is such as one obtains a homogeneous state of plane forced stress and type

displacements imposed in two stages:

Reference solution
It is about a comparison code-code. The reference used is the code Castem2000 (version 2001).
The results were obtained by the LGCNSN (Central School of Nantes) with the same parameters
materials and same discretization in time. Contrary to the calculation carried out with Code_Aster, it
Castem calculation was carried out in 2D under the assumption of plane stresses.
The delocalized version of the model of Mazars was tested with a null length characteristic of
way to check that one finds the same results as with the local version.

The use of the delocalized version of the model of Mazars passes by the use of modeling
3d_GRAD_EPSI and implies the use of quadratic elements.

Summary of the results
With very weak variations of about 0.05% to the maximum on the stresses in the phase
non-linear and about 0.002% after complete damage on a test where
loadings are not radial, one can consider that the establishment of the model of Mazars too
well in local version that not-local, is faithful to the original model.
