SSNP311 - Biblio_131. Cracking in mode II of one
elastoplastic test-tube




Summary:

This test results from the validation independent of version 3 in breaking process.

It is about a two-dimensional test in statics which aims at the validation of the calculation of G, and its not
dependence with respect to the crown, in elastoplastic mode in an incremental calculation, on a geometry
noncommonplace. The law of behavior used is an elastoplastic law of Von Mises with isotropic work hardening.

This case test includes/understands only one modeling 2D planes in which one studies the influence of a load
incremental.

The results obtained with Code_Aster are compared with the calculations carried out using code ADINA.

Reference solution
2.1
Method of calculation used for the reference solution
Calculation in finite elements with ADINA. Update of the matrix of tangent stiffness by the method
BFGS (BROYDEN, FLETCHER, GOLDFARB and SHAMNO). Calculation of J per integral of Rice in
which the density of deformation energy is evaluated according to the theory of plasticity of Hencky
(reversible elastic model nonlinear equivalent with the incremental theory of plasticity for one
monotonous radial loading growing in the space of the main stresses)

ref. = 334,6 MPa, for
a test-tube thickness B=6,44 mm
One also has some tabulées values, for a length of fissure has/W=0,5 and one
calculation in plane deformations; the dispersion of JII is related to the choice of the contour of integration around
melts of fissure.

Uncertainty on the solution
The difference between experimental measurements and calculation does not exceed 7%, with regard to the curve of
answer charges/displacement.
The precision of the calculation of J is unknown; the error seems to grow with the level of load, like
show the increasing dependence of J compared to the contour, which reaches a margin of variation of
12% with the pitch n° 64.

Summary of the results
The results concerning the rate of refund of energy give 1 maximum change of 9,7% by
report/ratio with the reference solution on the last crown, for an announced precision of 12%.
results are excellent taking into account the non-linear character of the test-tube.
