.. _V2.04.120: **v2.04.120** SDLV120 - Absorption of a compression wave in an elastic bar ======================================================================================= **Summary** We test the elastic paraxial elements of order 0 intended to apply absorbent conditions at the border of a finite element mesh to simulate infinity in direct transient calculations. They are used to model an infinite elastic bar, in 3D or 2D, in which a pressure wave is created by imposing a displacement to one of the ends. We are interested in the non-reflection of the wave at the "infinite" end of the bar. The two direct transient operators of*Code_Aster* are tested successively, namely DYNA_VIBRA and DYNA_NON_LINE. .. toctree:: :hidden: self .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :numbered: Probl_me_de_r_f_rence Solution_de_r_f_rence Mod_lisation_A Mod_lisation_B Synth_se_des_r_sultats
