SSNV141 - Segment of a sphere pinch




Summary:

One presents in this case-test a geometrical nonlinear quasi static calculation of segment of a sphere pinch. It
allows to test modeling COQUE_3D into nonlinear geometrical and the algorithm of update of
great rotations 3D (key Word
GREEN_GR
of the operator
STAT_NON_LINE
). This popular example in analysis
linear watch capacity of the element of hull to representing well the bending without extension and them
movements of rigid body. Moreover the thinness of the hull compared to its radius of curvature allows
to test the processing of blocking in transverse shearing. Deformations obtained by Code_Aster
different from 0.1 to 1.25% compared to those of Code the SAMCEF software, taken for reference.

Reference solution
This solution [bib4] is that which is obtained with software the SAMCEF software [bib1]. Modeling is based
on a theory of hull in resulting efforts with a Co-rotational formulation [bib3] and one

Summary of the results
The facts of the case correspond to a thin hull
H
R
=
0 4%
.
. It is necessary
to increase the value of the COEF_RIGI_DRZ which allots a rigidity around the normal of the elements
of hull which is worth by defect 10
­ 5
the smallest rigidity of bending around the directions in the plan of
the hull in order to be able to increase the value of the swing angle which one can reach.
values of this coefficient up to 10
­ 3
remain licit.
The Code_Aster solution is close to the reference solution the SAMCEF software for two modelings.
This test thus shows the correct operation of modeling COQUE_3D in great displacements
and great rotations, without revealing of blocking in shearing.
