1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

Only the flexure in the \(\mathit{XY}\) plane and the extension along the \(X\) axis are allowed. Since the model is solid, the boundary conditions differ somewhat from those that would be imposed on a beam model.

Imposed displacement:

In \(X=0\), \(Y=h/2\)

\(\mathit{DX}=0\), \(\mathit{DY}=0\)

In \(X=L\), \(Y=h/2\)

\(\mathit{DX}=0\), \(\mathit{DY}=0\)

In \(Z=b/2\)

\(\mathit{DZ}=0\)

To the previous conditions, we add the flatness constraint of the sections in \(X=0\) and \(X=L\). This constraint can be expressed as follows. Let’s designate \({x}^{T}=(X,Y,Z)\) the coordinate vector and \({u}^{T}=(\mathit{DX},\mathit{DY},\mathit{DZ})\) the displacement vector; the position of a point is identified by the vector \(x{\text{'}}^{T}={x}^{T}+{u}^{T}=(X\text{'},Y\text{'},Z\text{'})\). Let \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) be three non-aligned points in the section. Any point \(P\) is subject to the condition:

\(∣\begin{array}{cccc}X{\text{'}}_{P}& Y{\text{'}}_{P}& Z{\text{'}}_{P}& 1\\ X{\text{'}}_{A}& Y{\text{'}}_{A}& Z{\text{'}}_{A}& 1\\ X{\text{'}}_{B}& Y{\text{'}}_{B}& Z{\text{'}}_{B}& 1\\ X{\text{'}}_{C}& Y{\text{'}}_{C}& Z{\text{'}}_{C}& 1\end{array}∣=0\)

Imposed force:

In \(Y=h\), for all \(X\), the load is defined by:

\(p(x,t)=p(x)\mathrm{sin}(\omega t)\)

with \(p(x)={p}_{0}=5.0\times {10}^{4}{\text{N.m}}^{-1}\) and \(\omega =2000\pi {\text{rd.s}}^{-1}\).
