1. Reference problem#
1.1. Geometry#
Each test is carried out on a smooth cylindrical test piece. For obvious reasons of symmetries, an axisymmetric 2D modeling of a quarter of the structure is sufficient.

1.2. Material properties#
The behavior of the material studied is described by a Von Mises elasto-plastic law with linear isotropic work hardening, “VMIS_ISOT_LINE”. The deformations used in the behavior relationship are linearized deformations.
Poisson’s ratio does not depend on temperature, \(\nu =\mathrm{0,3}\).
The values of the Young’s modulus \(E\), the tangent modulus \({E}_{t}\) and the elastic limit are given in the following table:

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#
With reference to the figure in §1.1, the limit and load conditions are as follows:
On segment \(\mathrm{BC}\) (\(Y={L}_{0}\)), displacement imposed in the direction \(\mathrm{OY}\):
\(T[°C]\) |
Displacement ( \(l-{l}_{0}\) ) at break for a reference length \({l}_{0}\) of \(203.5\mathrm{mm}\) \([\mathrm{mm}]\) The results for each temperature are in ascending order |
