SZLZ105 - Counting of cycles by RAINFLOW
and calculation of the damage




Summary:

Transitory linear elastic problem quasi-static in mechanics of the structures.

Calculation of the final damage in an element subjected to a cyclic loading, with an elastic behavior
linear.

A modeling in plane stresses and a modeling in 3D.

This test validates the method of counting of cycles (RAINFLOW) established in the operator
CALC_FATIGUE
[U4.67.01] as well as the method of calculation of the damage in imposed stress (curve of Wöhler) or
imposed deformation (curve of Manson-Whetstone sheath). The reference solution is an analytical solution.

It also validates the calculation of the stresses and equivalent deformations using the options
EQUI_ELGA_SIGM
,
EQUI_ELNO_SIGM
,
EQUI_ELGA_EPSI
,
EQUI_ELNO_EPSI
, EQUI_ELGA_EPME and
EQUI_ELNO_EPME.

Summary of the results
This test validates the method and the calculation of the damage of Wöhler and Manson-Whetstone sheath.
The results of Code_Aster are identical to those obtained analytically.
