SSNV142 - Clean creep test: Granger model




Summary:

This case-test of nonlinear quasi-static mechanics relates to a creep test on a cylinder
axisymmetric. It aims to validate the relation of behavior of “Granger”, relation of
behavior which one introduced into Code_Aster to modelize the clean creep of the concretes. This model
is a linear viscoelastic model (grouping of rheological models of Kelvin in series) which allows
to take into account the history of the stress, the temperature and the hygroscopy.

In this test, the stress, the temperature and the hygrometrical state are constant.

The cylinder is modelized by four elements quadrangles with 8 nodes.

The results obtained by Code_Aster are compared with the analytical solution of reference.

Reference solution

Method of calculation used for the reference solution
Being given the nature of the stresses, the solution (forced

The loading and the boundary conditions are modelized by:
FACE_IMPO: (GROUP_MA: D1, DY: 0.)
PRES_REP: (GROUP_MA: D3, NEAR: function)
One imposes moreover one uniform and constant temperature of 20°C and a uniform field of drying
and constant of 1 on the structure using the operator
AFFE_CHAM_NO
. The curve of
sorption-desorption (user datum) makes it possible to pass from the variable drying to the hygroscopy.
