8. F modeling: 3D sawing JOINT_MECA_RUPT

8.1. Characteristics of modeling

The simulation is carried out with 3D modeling_ JOINT. The elements are of type TETRA4 for the studs and PENTA6 for the joint elements. The corresponding law of behavior is JOINT_MECA_RUPT, the associated material has the same name. The solid elements are elastic.

8.2. Characteristics of the mesh

A linear unstructured mesh is produced by extruding the 2D mesh (figure below).

Volume elements (pads): 2761 TETRA4

Attachments: 92 PENTA6

8.3. Tested sizes and results

The procedure similar to the industrial process is validated by non-regression. The values of the normal joint opening \({\delta }_{n}\) (\(\mathit{V7}\)), joint thickness \({\delta }_{\mathit{offset}}\) (\(\mathit{V10}\)), as well as the normal \({\sigma }_{n}\) and tangential \({\sigma }_{t}\) stresses are tested at various heights.
