6. Examples#

The following tables describe some test cases using the TUYAU element.

6.1. Linear static analysis#

SSLL101

Title: Hovgaard problem. Static analysis of three-dimensional pipes with bends

Documentation V: []

Modelling: SSLL101D TUYAU_6M SEG3 SSLL101C TUYAU_3M SEG3 SSLL101E TUYAU_3M SEG4

SSLL106

Title: Straight tube subject to multiple loads.

V Documentation: []

Models: SSLL106B TUYAU_3M SEG3 SSLL106E TUYAU_3M SEG4 SSLL106D TUYAU_6M SEG3

Loads: a pull, 2 shear forces, 2 bending moments, a twist and a pressure. It makes it possible to test displacements, nodal forces and stresses and deformations at Gauss points, compared to an analytical reference solution. The mesh used is the same for all four models. Models A and C use MECA_STATIQUE, while models B and D use STAT_NON_LINEpour resolution.

SSLX102

Title: Bended pipe.

V Documentation: []

Modelling: SSLX102B TUYAU_3M SEG3 SSLX102C TUYAU_6M SEG3

6.2. Nonlinear static material analysis#

SSNL503

Title: Elasto-plastic ruin of a thin bent pipe.

Documentation V: []

Modelings: **SSNL503A TUYAU_3M SEG3

;;**Loading**: thin bent pipe subjected to a bend in its plane and has an internal pressure with a shape effect.

SSNl106

Title: Beam embedded at one end and loaded by traction with linear work hardening or a moment of perfect plasticity.

V Documentation: []

Models: SSNL106E TUYAU_3M SEG3 SSNL106F TUYAU_3M SEG4 SSNL106G TUYAU_6M SEG3

Loads: a pull, 2 shear forces, 2 bending moments, a twist and a pressure. Models A and C use MECA_STATIQUE, while models B and D use STAT_NON_LINEpour resolution.

HSNV100

Title: Thermoplasticity in simple traction of a pipe.

V Documentation: []

Modelling: HSNV100C TUYAU_3M SEG3 HSNV100D TUYAU_6M SEG3

6.4. Nonlinear dynamic analysis#

ELSA

_images/10000000000001020000009D12654F4532741B97.png

Title: Nonlinear seismic analysis of a pipe line.

Documentation V: []

Modelling: **ELSA01B TUYAU_3M SEG3 ELSA01C TUYAU_3M SEG4

;;** Loads**: seismic excitation is imposed on the line. This leads to partial plasticization (1%) of the elbows only.
