3. Modeling A#

3.1. Characteristics of modeling#

The model consists of Timoshenko’s straight beam elements: POU_D_T.

Divided into 199 elements uniformly distributed throughout the tube:

Section \([\mathrm{AB}]\):

99 elements

Section \([\mathrm{BC}]\):

1 element

Section \([\mathrm{CD}]\):

99 elements

Nodes \(A\) and \(D\) are blocked in the following directions:

\(X\), \(Y\) and \(Z\) in translation

\(Y\) in rotation

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

The total number of nodes used for this mesh is 200.

The meshes (type SEG2) are 199 in number.

The mesh file is in ASTER format.

3.3. Calculation steps#

The fluid flow velocity profile and the parameters taking into account fluid-structure coupling are defined by operators DEFI_FONC_FLUI and DEFI_FLUI_STRU.

We then calculate the modal parameters of our structure taking into account fluid-elastic forces with CALC_FLUI_SRU.

The definition of the multiple excitation zones is carried out by a call to the operator DEFI_SPEC_TURB, which makes it possible to establish the link between interspectral matrix and shape functions. The excitations are then projected onto the modal basis using the operator PROJ_SPEC_BASE and the modal response interspectra are calculated by the operator DYNA_SPEC_MODAL.

Finally, the autospectra of constraints at the nodes are deduced by a call to REST_SPEC_PHYS.

We can only calculate the spectral response for one flow speed at a time, so these last three steps (PROJ_SPEC_BASE, DYNA_SPEC_MODAL, REST_SPEC_PHYS) are carried out in a loop, in the command file, where we go through the list of flow velocities.
