3.3. Tested sizes and results#

The calculation strategy used is divided into two steps:

  • Imposed load: a disruptive load of \(1\mathrm{/}1000\) of the critical load following \(X\) is imposed to reveal the buckling mode. This load is applied for \(P\mathrm{/}{P}_{\mathit{cr}}\mathrm{=}0.98\) and up to \(P\mathrm{/}{P}_{\mathit{cr}}\mathrm{=}1.015\).

  • Imposed displacement: clear of 1.01, the structure has become very flexible, an increase in displacement DZ is imposed (option DDL_IMPO in STAT_NON_LINE) to determine post-buckling behavior.

Using the arc-length technique makes it difficult to define the reference value to be entered in the TEST_RESU command, since these values cannot be imposed. To define the reference values, we looked for the DZ values that were as close as possible to those listed in the [§2.2] table and we reported the values of the control parameter and DX that we had to obtain for the DZ values in question.
