HPLP100 - Calculation of the rate of refund of energy
of a plate fissured in thermo elasticity


Summary
It is about a test in thermo elasticity for a two-dimensional problem. A rectangular plate is considered
fissured and one places oneself on the assumption of the plane deformations.
In modeling A, the rate of refund of energy is calculated in postprocessing by two methods
different:
·
conventional calculation by the method theta,
·
calculation by the formula of IRWIN starting from the coefficients of intensity of stresses KI and KII.
These two calculations are carried out on 4 different crowns of integration. Their interest is to compare them
values of G and G (IRWIN) compared to the reference solution and to test the invariance of calculations by
report/ratio with the various crowns of integration.
As for modeling B, it is about a functional and data-processing test of calculation of derived from the rate from
conventional restitution of energy compared to a variation of field (controlled by a function theta
particular). One uses loadings which for the majority are analytical and which intervene only in post-
processing of the calculation of mechanics.
The architecture of the test makes it possible to simulate a finished difference, one can thus distinguish in term from
data-processing not-regression, possible external amendments impacting the direct problem and/or its
derived.
From a more anecdotic point of view, one can take as a starting point the the sequences of the control

Characteristics of modeling
It is about a functional and data-processing test of calculation of derived from the rate of refund of energy
conventional compared to a variation of field. This variation is controlled by a function theta
particular, noted

, generated via
CALC_THETA
with the key word factor

The crown delimiting the area of calculation around the bottom of fissure (at the point C materializing the origin

, one affects thermal loadings of temperatures type imposed on the edges
right and left of the part, for then, to carry out thermal calculation itself. This last
use
thetas
, provided via the key word
SENSITIVITY
, to calculate the field of temperature and its
Lagrangian derivative.
Before carrying out elastic thermo calculation one affects the mechanical loadings. The activation of
the operator
MECA_STATIQUE
having been made with the key word
SENSITIVITY
, one enriches the result by
the Lagrangian derivative of displacements.
One adds thereafter analytical loadings which intervene only in postprocessing of
calculation of mechanics. They make it possible to calculate two values of G, one with a force of gravity,
an internal force and a field of initial deformation (G1), the other with a stress field
initial (G2). The first calculation is carried out in small deformations, the second in deformations of
Green-Lagrange. The crown of calculation is defined by a call to
CALC_THETA
with the option
THETA_2D
.
These tests, purely data-processing and functional, have only little interest from a point of view
mechanics because the majority of the loadings do not check an equation with balance.

6.2 Remarks
These numerical values vary if the parameters of the functions theta are modified because one uses
mechanical loadings in postprocessing of elastic thermo calculation. They thus do not respect
of equation to balance. By using only loadings intervening during all the process
these instabilities are reduced considerably, while remaining about the percent.

Summaries of the results
At the time of the first modeling, the variation with the values of reference is 6 to 7%. Validation
independent of the breaking process batch should bring brief replies on the validity
G in thermo elasticity.
The second modeling carrying out of the tests of functional and data-processing not-regression of
calculation of derived from G compared to a variation of field, its results must be
scrupulously respected, from where very severe criteria of tolerance.
