9. G modeling: 2D sawing JOINT_MECA_FROT

9.1. Characteristics of modeling

The simulation is done with modeling PLAN_JOINT. The elements are of type TRIA3 for the studs and QUAD4 for the joint elements. The corresponding law of behavior is JOINT_MECA_FROT, the associated material has the same name. Surface elements are elastic.

9.2. Characteristics of the mesh

A linear mesh of two studs and the crack is produced.

Volume elements (pads): 548 TRIA3

Joint elements: 20 QUAD4

9.3. 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.
