12. Parameters for specific behaviors#
12.1. Keyword factor LEMAITRE_IRRA#
Characteristics (specific to irradiation) of the creep of fuel rods or assemblies (behavior LEMAITRE_IRRA). Elastic characteristics should be defined under the keyword ELAS or ELAS_FO.
The uniaxial form of the law of magnification is:
\({\varepsilon }_{g}(t)\mathrm{=}f(T,{\Phi }_{t})\)
where \(f\) is a function of the temperature \(T\) expressed in \(°C\) and of the fluence \({\Phi }_{t}\) expressed in \({10}^{24}\mathit{neutrons}/{m}^{2}\).
For 2D and 3D models, the law of magnification is written (Cf. [R5.03.08]):
\({\varepsilon }_{g}(t)\mathrm{=}f(T,{\Phi }_{t}){\varepsilon }_{g}^{0}\)
with: \({\epsilon }_{g}^{0}={\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0\end{array}\right)}_{{R}_{1}}\)
We must then define, using the ANGL_REP operand of the keyword MASSIF of the operator AFFE_CARA_ELEM, the local axes corresponding to the coordinate system \({R}_{1}\) (see [U4.42.01]). This operand requires 3 nautical angles of which only the first 2 are used (the third can therefore be any).
Magnification parameters are provided behind the GRAN_FO keyword.
The four keywords QSR_K, BETA, PHI_ZERO, L are filled in (the other creep parameters are identical to those of behavior LEMAITRE) and the creep behavior is then as follows:
\(\begin{array}{ccc}\dot{p}={\left[\frac{{\sigma }_{\mathrm{eq}}}{{p}^{1/m}}\right]}^{n}{(\frac{1}{K}\frac{\Phi }{{\Phi }_{0}}+L)}^{\beta }{e}^{\frac{-Q}{R(T+{T}_{0})}}& \text{}& ({T}_{O}=\mathrm{273,15}°)\end{array}\)
where \(\mathrm{\Phi }\) is the neutron flux calculated from fluence (see [R5.03.08]). \(T\) is in \(°C\).
In the case where you want the behavior not to depend on fluency, but still include the term in \(\mathrm{exp}(-Q/\mathrm{RT})\), it is possible to use the LEMAITRE_IRRA keyword in STAT_NON_LINE by entering the keyword LEMAITRE_IRRA in DEFI_MATERIAU. It is then imperative to assign UN_SUR_K, A, B, S to zero and PHI_ZERO to one. Under these conditions, it is not necessary to define a fluence field.
12.2. Keyword factor DIS_GRICRA#
This keyword makes it possible to define the parameters associated with the non-linear behavior of the connection between the grid and the rod in a fuel assembly modeled by a discrete element (cf. [R5.03.17]). The behavior that can be used in the STAT_NON_LINE and DYNA_NON_LINE commands using these parameters is DIS_GRICRA.
The input parameters for this law are as follows:
Axial sliding behavior: 6 parameters (including 2 optional parameters, purely numerical)
normal stiffness of the discrete KN_AX;
tangential stiffness (in the direction of sliding) KT_AX;
Coulomb friction coefficient COUL_AX;
clamping force F_SER (sliding limit = COUL_AX x F_SER);
Work hardening parameter ET_AX, the law of behavior can be equated to perfect plasticity. The work-hardening parameter is only used to ensure the convergence of the calculation and is optional, with a default value of \({10}^{-7}\);
stiffness parameter KP, which is paralleled by the behavior to avoid “zero pivots” in some cases. This parameter is optional with a default value of \(0\);
Rotational behavior: 8 parameters (including one purely numerical parameter)
successive slopes PEN1, PEN2, PEN3et PEN4 of curve \(Moment = f(angle)\);
angles ANG1, ANG2, and ANG3 of the inflection points of the curve;
work-hardening parameter ET_ROT (parameter only used to ensure the convergence of the calculation; a default value of \({10}^{-7}\) is assigned to it).
Elastic behavior in parallel: 1 parameter
elastic stiffness KP simulating a spring system put in parallel with the 4 discrete crosses (by default value \(0.0\))
Clamping forces may vary depending on temperature and irradiation. These dependencies are affected on slopes PEN1, PEN2, and PEN3 for rotational behavior and on the clamping force F_SER for axial sliding behavior. Dependency functions are defined directly as a FORMULE in the command file.
behavior based on a discrete element with 2 nodes (modeling DIS_TR) with degrees of freedom in translation and rotation
contact with Coulomb friction for the degrees of translation, modelled by an elastoplastic model
law of nonlinear behavior in rotation based on geometric and physical considerations (cf. [R5.03.17])
The names of the parameters followed by the suffix _FO allow you to enter the value in the form of a function.
A number of additional parameters, which are available for this behavior but which are not included in this document, are explained in [V6.04.131].

12.3. Keyword factor DIS_CONTACT#
This keyword makes it possible to define the parameters associated with behaviors DIS_CHOC and DIS_CONTACT, non-linear shock with Coulomb friction associated with discrete elements (cf. [R5.03.17]) for models DIS_T, DIS_TR, 2D_DIS_T, 2D_DIS_TR based on meshes POI1 or SEG2 ( discrete element with 1 or 2 knots).
12.3.1. Operands#
- RIGI_NOR = Kn
Value of normal shock stiffness. If RIGI_NOR is present, this value is taken into account. If it is not present, the discrete elements to which this material is assigned must have their stiffness defined elsewhere (for example using the AFFE_CARA_ELEM command with the keywords DISCRET, 2D_DISCRET or RIGI_PARASOL).
- RIGI_TAN = Kt
Value of the tangential shock stiffness.
- AMOR_NOR = Cn
Value of normal shock absorption.
- AMOR_TAN = That
Value of tangential shock absorption.
- COULOMB = mu
Value of the coefficient of friction.
- DIST_1 = dist1
Characteristic distance of material surrounding the first shock node.
- DIST_2 = dist2
Characteristic distance of material surrounding the second shock node (shock between two mobile structures).
- JEU = d0
Distance between the shock node and an unmodelled obstacle (case of an impact between a mobile structure and an undeformable and immobile obstacle).
- INST_COMP_INIT = (t0, t1)
When using behavior DIS_CONTACT, cf. [R5.03.17], and when the discrete is initially compressed and in contact, it may be necessary to simulate this gradual compression in order to start from a balanced state. This keyword is used to define a ramp, if INST is the moment of calculation: \(\min\left( \max\left(0.0, (INST-t_0)∕(t_1-t_0)\right),1.0 \right)\). The value obtained multiplies the distance between the nodes or that between the node and the obstacle. The distance therefore varies between 0 to \({t}_{0}\) and its final value to \({t}_{1}\). During this phase the friction is not activated. At the end of this phase, if the discrete is compressed, the Coulomb threshold is \(\mu .N\) where \(\mathit{Fx}\) is the compression force in the discrete.
- CONTACT = [“1D”|”COIN_2D”]
Allows you to define the coordinate system in which the contact is processed. By default CONTACT is managed in 1D (according to the local discrete axis). Option COIN_2D allows you to change the method of calculating the interpenetration of the 2 solids. In this case this interpenetration is calculated in the global coordinate system, and it is no longer a norm. Cf. [R5.03.17]
12.4. Keyword factor DIS_CHOC_ENDO#
This keyword makes it possible to define the parameters associated with nonlinear shock behaviors CHOC_ENDO and CHOC_ENDO_PENA associated with discrete elements (cf. [R5.03.17]) for DIS_T models based on SEG2 meshes (discrete element with 2 nodes).
12.4.1. Operands#
- FX = fx
Threshold function dependent on the relative displacement of the discrete nodes.
- RIGI_NOR = rn
Function describing the variation in stiffness depending on the relative displacement of the discrete nodes. This function is necessarily decreasing.
- AMOR_NOR = year
Function describing the damping dependent on the relative displacement of the discrete nodes.
In all cases amortization is taken into account in the effort (cf. [R5.03.17]).
- CRIT_AMOR= [“INCLUDED”|”EXCLUDED”]
Structural depreciation can be taken into account in 2 different ways. Or it is taken into account in calculating the threshold, then the effort in the discrete (if the damping is different from 0) is always less than the threshold. We therefore have a reduction in the threshold as a function of the speed of the shock. Or it is excluded from the calculation of the threshold, then the effort in the discrete can be equal to the threshold.
In all cases amortization is taken into account in the effort (cf. [R5.03.17]).
- DIST_1 = dist1
Characteristic distance of material surrounding the first shock node (shock between two mobile structures).
- DIST_2 = dist2
Characteristic distance of material surrounding the second shock node (shock between two mobile structures).
12.5. Keyword factor DIS_CHOC_ELAS#
This keyword makes it possible to define the parameters associated with CHOC_ELAS_TRAC nonlinear shock behaviors associated with discrete elements (cf. [R5.03.17]) for DIS_T models based on meshes SEG2 (discrete element with 2 nodes).
12.5.1. Operands#
- FX = fx
Nonlinear function dependent on the relative displacement of the discrete nodes.
- DIST_1 = dist1
Characteristic distance of material surrounding the first shock node (shock between two mobile structures).
- DIST_2 = dist2

12.6. Keyword factor DIS_ECRO_CINE#
These elastoplastic material behavior parameters with non-linear kinematic work hardening, cf. [R5.03.17], are to be used with the discrete elements 2D_DIS_TR, 2D_DIS_T, DIS_TR, DIS_T (cf. operator AFFE_MODELE [U4.41.01]). The law is constructed component by component of the torsor of the resulting forces on the discrete element: there is no coupling between the force components (forces and torques), on which different characteristics can be defined; only the diagonal characteristics are affected by the behavior. The elastic stiffness \({K}_{e}\) (which is also used by the non-linear algorithm for prediction) of this law of behavior is given via the keywords K_T_D_L, K_TR_D_L, K_T_D_N, K_TR_D_N of the AFFE_CARA_ELEM [U4.42.01] command:
The quantities are all expressed in the local coordinate system of the element; it is mandatory to specify the keyword REPERE =” LOCAL “in AFFE_CARA_ELEM [U4.42.01]. The orientation of the discrete can be done in AFFE_CARA_ELEM with the usual rules using the ORIENTATION keyword.
The use of the law of behavior is done in STAT_NON_LINE or DYNA_NON_LINE under the keyword COMPORTEMENT [U4.51.11] with relationship = “DISC_ECRO_CINE”.
It is pointed out that this law of behavior is not compatible with alternating cyclic loading.

12.7. Keyword factor DIS_VISC#
This non-linear viscoelastic behavior is to be used with discrete elements (cf. [R5.03.17]) 2D_DIS_TR, 2D_DIS_T, DIS_TR, DIS_T (cf. operator AFFE_MODELE [U4.41.01]). This behavior only affects the element’s local \(\mathit{dx}\) degree of freedom. The value of the elastic stiffness \({K}_{e}\) (which is also used by the non-linear algorithm for prediction) is given via the keywords K_T_D_L, K_TR_D_L, K_T_D_N, K_TR_D_Nde the command AFFE_CARA_ELEM [U4.42.01].
This viscous law of behavior can be used with the operators STAT_NON_LINE and DYNA_NON_LINE, under the keyword COMPORTEMENT [U4.51.11] with RELATION = “DIS_VISC”.
The quantities are all expressed in the local coordinate system of the element; it is mandatory to specify REPERE =” LOCAL “in AFFE_CARA_ELEM [U4.42.01]. The orientation of the discrete can be done in AFFE_CARA_ELEM with the usual rules using the orientation keyword.
12.7.1. Operands#
Behavior DIS_VISC is a non-linear viscoelastic rheological behavior, of the extended Zener type, making it possible to schematize the behavior of a uniaxial damper, applicable to the axial degree of freedom of discrete elements at two nodes (mesh SEG2) or and of discrete elements at one node (mesh POI1).

For the local direction \(x\) (and only that one) of the discrete element, 5 coefficients are provided. Their units should be in accordance with the unit of effort, the unit of lengths, and the unit of time of the problem.

The conditions to be met for these coefficients are (in particular to ensure the positivity and the finiteness of the tangent matrix):
\({K}_{1}⩾{10}^{-8}\); \(1/{K}_{1}⩾0\); \({K}_{3}⩾{10}^{-8}\); \(1/{K}_{3}⩾0\)
\(1/{K}_{2}⩾{10}^{-8}\); \({K}_{2}⩾0\); \(C\ge {10}^{-8}\); \({10}^{-8}\le \alpha \le 1\)
In addition, we cannot have at the same time: \(1/{E}_{1}=0\), \(1/{E}_{3}=0\) and \({E}_{2}=0\), i.e. the case of the shock absorber alone.
12.8. Keyword factor DIS_ECRO_TRAC#
Behavior DIS_ECRO_TRAC is a non-linear behavior, making it possible to schematize the behavior of a uniaxial device, along the local axis \(x\) or in the tangential plane \(\mathit{yz}\) of discrete elements at two nodes (mesh SEG2) or and of discrete elements at one node (mesh POI1).
The non-linear behavior is given by a \(F=\mathit{fonction}(\mathrm{\Delta }U)\) curve:
for a SEG2, \(\mathrm{\Delta }U\) represents the relative displacement of the 2 nodes in the local coordinate system of the element.
for a POI1, \(\mathrm{\Delta }U\) represents the absolute movement of the node in the element’s local coordinate system.
for a SEG2 or a POI1, \(F\) represents the effort expressed in the local coordinate system of the element.
This law of behavior can be used with the operators STAT_NON_LINE and DYNA_NON_LINE, under the keyword COMPORTEMENT [U4.51.11] with RELATION =” DIS_ECRO_TRAC “.
The quantities are all expressed in the local coordinate system of the element. The orientation of the discrete can be done in AFFE_CARA_ELEM with the usual rules using the orientation keyword.

12.9. Keyword factor DIS_BILI_ELAS#

This behavior is to be used with discrete elements (cf. [R5.03.17]), 2D_DIS_T, DIS_T (cf. operator AFFE_MODELE [U4.41.01]). The law is built component by component, so there is no coupling between the force components, on which different characteristics can be defined; only the diagonal characteristics are affected by the behavior. The value of the elastic stiffness \({K}_{e}\) (which is only used by the non-linear algorithm for prediction) of this law of behavior is given via the keywords K_T_D_L, K_T_D_N of the AFFE_CARA_ELEM [U4.42.01] command.
This law of behavior can be used with the operators STAT_NON_LINE and DYNA_NON_LINE, under the keyword COMPORTEMENT [U4.51.11] with RELATION =” DISC_BILI_ELAS “.
The quantities are all expressed in the local coordinate system of the element. The orientation of the discrete can be done in the AFFE_CARA_ELEM command with the usual rules using the orientation keyword.
12.9.1. Operands#

- KFIN_DX = k2_dx, KFIN_DY = k2_dy, KFIN_DZ = k2_dz

- FPRE_DX = FP_DX, FPRE_DY = FP_DY, FPRE_DZ = FP_DZ
The effort that defines the transition between the 2 linear behaviors.
12.10. Keyword factor ASSE_CORN#
Description of the material characteristics associated with the behavior of a bolted joint [R5.03.32].
12.10.1. Operands#
In the following figure, plane \(\pi\) represents the assembly plane. The axis of the bolts is perpendicular to this plane. The reader will refer to [U4.42.01] AFFE_CARA_ELEM for the orientation of the coordinate system \({R}_{L}\) defining the assembly plane.

- KZ

- KRZ
Stiffness when rotating around \(Z\)
- R_P0

12.11. Keyword factor ARME#

12.11.1. Operands#
- KYE = key

- DLE = dle

- KYP = kyp
Plastic slope up to limit displacement DLP.
- DLP = dlp
Limiting displacement of plastic deformation 0.
- KYG = kyg

12.12. Keyword factor RELAX_ACIER#
The relaxation phenomenon of steels used for prestress is regulated. The main regulations are: BPEL83, NF-EN-1992-1-1 October 2005, AFCEN - ETCC -2010,
We want to be able to model deformations that will vary slowly over time, in particular to take account of concrete creep and temperature variations. We also want to take into account the influence of temperature on relaxation phenomena.
Regularly, it would be possible to take into account the effect of concrete creep and thermal deformation by making a linear combination of the various phenomena (see regulations for more details). This approach is incompatible with a finite element calculation.
For the law of relaxation to be usable in a finite element code for structural calculations with load variations such as: concrete creep, cable tension recovery, taking into account the influence of thermal,… it must be incremental and thermodynamically correct.
The formulation adopted is based on that proposed by J.Lemaitre:
\(\mathrm{\sigma }=E.{\mathrm{\epsilon}}^{e}\) \(\mathrm{\epsilon}={\mathrm{\epsilon}}^{e}+{\mathrm{\epsilon}}^{\mathit{an}}\)
\({\dot{\varepsilon}}^{\mathrm{an}}=\langle \frac{\sigma –R({\varepsilon}^{\mathrm{an}})}{{f}_{\mathrm{prg}}\mathrm{.}k} \rangle^{n}\) with \(R \left( {\epsilon}^{an} \right)= \large {\frac{{f}_{prg}.c.{\epsilon}^{an}}{ {\left(1+{\left(b.{\epsilon}^{an} \right)}^{nr}\right)}^{\frac{1}{nr}}}}\)
The law of behavior is 1D, and only available for bar-type models, which are used to model prestress cables in operator DEFI_CABLE_BP.
To take into account the influence of temperature on relaxation, all the coefficients of the law can be functions of temperature.
- Note:
The parameters \(c\), \(b\), \(n\) and \(\mathit{nr}\) are unitless, and therefore independent of the units used during the study. \(k\) is dimensionless compared to \({f}_{\mathit{prg}}\) so in relation to the constraints, but not in relation to time. Indeed \({\dot{\mathrm{\epsilon}}}^{\mathit{an}}\) is homogeneous to \({[s]}^{-1}\), if the time unit is in seconds. So if we know \(k\) for a speed in a unit of time, it is necessary to convert its value in relation to the unit of time used during the study.
12.12.1. Operands#
- \(\bf f_{prg}\)
