.. _R5.03.17: **r5.03.17** Discrete element behavior relationships ==== **Summary:** This document describes the nonlinear behaviors of discrete elements that are called by the nonlinear problem solving operators STAT_NON_LINE [:ref:`U4.51.03`] or DYNA_NON_LINE [:ref:`U4.53.01`]. More specifically, the behaviors described in this document are: * thermo-elastic behavior :ref:`ELAS`, * the Von Mises-type isotropic work hardening behavior used for the modeling of :ref:`assemblages filetés`, accessible by the keywords DIS_GOUJ2E_PLAS and DIS_GOUJ2E_ELAS of the keyword factor COMPORTEMENT [:ref:`U4.51.11`], * bilinear elastic behavior, accessible by the keyword :ref:`DIS_BILI_ELAS`, * the Von Mises-type behavior with non-linear kinematic work hardening, accessible by the keyword :ref:`DIS_ECRO_CINE`, * the non-linear viscoelastic rheological behavior, accessible by the keyword :ref:`DIS_VISC`, * the non-linear elastoplastic behavior, accessible by the keyword :ref:`DIS_ECRO_TRAC`, * the contact type behavior with shock and Coulomb friction, in explicit integration with penalization stiffness, accessible by the keyword :ref:`DIS_CHOC` of the keyword factor COMPORTEMENT [:ref:`U4.51.11`], * the elastic nonlinear contact behavior :ref:`DIS_CHOC_TRAC`, in explicit integration with a nonlinear stiffness given by a function, * the contact type behavior with solid shock and Coulomb friction, in implicit integration, accessible by the keyword :ref:`DIS_CONTACT`, * behaviors :ref:`CHOC_ENDO` and :ref:`CHOC_ENDO_PENA`, which makes it possible to model a behavior that takes into account a threshold for the shock force, as well as a variation in stiffness and damping as a function of the relative displacement of the nodes of the discrete element, * the behavior of the type unilateral contact with Coulomb friction, used to model the translation and rotation behavior of all the grid-pencil connection springs of fuel assemblies, accessible by the keyword :ref:`DIS_GRICRA`. * line arming behavior, accessible by the keyword :ref:`ARME`, * the "Dashpot" type of behavior, accessible by the :ref:`DASHPOT` keyword, * non-linear behavior, which makes it possible to model a flexural junction between a wall and a floor or a slab, accessible by the keyword :ref:`JONC_ENDO_PLAS`. The integration of the behavior models mentioned above is detailed in this document. Other behaviors relating to discrete elements are available, but not detailed here: * non-linear assembly of tower angles, relationship ASSE_CORN [:ref:`R5.03.32`], * the non-linear elastoplastic behavior of a :ref:`fondation superficielle rectangulaire` subjected to static or seismic three-dimensional stress, relationship FONDA_SUPERFI [:ref:`R5.03.31`]. .. toctree:: :hidden: self sommaire
