SSNV144 - Bend in bending into large
displacements


Summary:

This test validates the modeling of the phenomena of bending of hull in great displacements in the field
rubber band or elastoplastic: an elbow of piping, prolonged by right pipes is subjected to a bending
in its plan. Piping is thick (of size similar to the elbows of the primary education circuits).
reference solution is numerical: it is obtained with Code_Aster using a mesh 3D of the elbow.

Modeling is carried out with elements COQUE_3D in great displacements or elastoplasticity.

Reference solution
2.1
Method of calculation used for the reference solution
In linear elasticity, cf [V6.02.117] one carries out a comparison with other numerical results
obtained with Code_Aster on a mesh 3D of the elbow and right parts, connected at the ends to
right beams. This mesh 3D comprises 1024 meshs HEXA20. A modeling COQUE_3D
give close results.

2.2
Results of reference
For one moment applied Mz in D, displacement DY of the same point D is worth:

Moment
Dy not D (m) (3D)
Dy not D (m) (COQUE_3D)
3.08670D+08 1.09349D02
1.08875D02

2.3
Uncertainty on the solution
Owing to the fact that the reference solution is numerical, one can evaluate the precision according to [§2.2] to 2% by
comparison of the 3D solutions and COQUE_3D.

Summary of the results
This test makes it possible to validate the elements COQUE_3D into linear and nonlinear geometrical for one
real geometry having two curvatures. The results are close (less than 1%) to the reference
numerical in elasticity.
