Reference problem ===================== Geometry --------- An anti-seismic device is placed between two jaws (rectangles shaded in the following figure) which are themselves placed on a vibrating table subjected to an acceleration imposed in the direction X. It is modelled by a non-linearity of the "anti-seismic device" type placed on either side of a mass-spring system. .. image:: images/Object_1.svg :width: 303 :height: 274 .. _RefImage_Object_1.svg: Material properties ----------------------- The jaws that insert the device are each modelled by a mass-spring system: connection stiffness: :math:`k={10}^{10}N/m`; point mass: :math:`m=25\mathrm{kg}`. The device tested is an anti-seismic device of type JARRET. Its characteristics are as follows: * :math:`\mathrm{K1}=6.{10}^{6}N/m` (RIGI_K1), * :math:`\mathrm{K2}=\mathrm{0,53}{10}^{6}N/m` (RIGI_K2), * :math:`\mathrm{Py}=1200` (SEUIL_FX), * :math:`C=\mathrm{0,07}{10}^{5}` (C), * :math:`\mathrm{alpha}=\mathrm{0,2}` (PUIS_ALPHA), * :math:`\mathrm{xmax}=\mathrm{0,03}m` (DX_MAX). Boundary conditions and loads ------------------------------------- **Boundary conditions** The only authorized movements are translations according to axis :math:`X`. Points :math:`C` and :math:`D` are embedded: :math:`\mathrm{dx}=\mathrm{dy}=\mathrm{dz}=0`. The other points are free to translate according to :math:`\mathrm{dx}`: :math:`\mathrm{dy}=\mathrm{dz}=0`. **Loading** Point :math:`D` is subject to transverse acceleration in the direction :math:`x` :math:`{\gamma }_{1}(t)\mathrm{=}\mathrm{0,66}\mathrm{sin}(\omega t)m\mathrm{/}{s}^{2}` with :math:`\omega \mathrm{=}2\pi`, point :math:`C` is fixed. Initial conditions -------------------- At the initial moment, the device is at rest: at :math:`t=0`, :math:`\mathrm{dx}(0)=0`, :math:`\mathrm{dx}/\mathrm{dt}(0)=0` at all points.
