13. K modeling

Validation of the joint \(\mathrm{3D}\) \(\text{HYME}\) HEXA20 with the law JOINT_MECA_FROT

13.1. Characteristics of modeling

3D modeling for the elastic element.

3D modeling_ JOINT_HYME for the joint element

13.2. Characteristics of the mesh

Number of knots: 32 (including 8 knots with degrees of pressure freedom)

The elastic element is a HEXA20.

The joint element is a degenerate HEXA20 (knots combined).

13.3. Tested sizes and results

To test the hydraulic part, a pressure \({p}_{\mathit{fluide}}\mathrm{=}500\mathit{Pa}\) is imposed on the nodes \(\mathrm{NS19}\) and \(\mathrm{NS20}\) and the same value is tested on the nodes \(\mathrm{NS17}\) and \(\mathrm{NS18}\).

We only do non-regression tests, by mixing the loading modes. The same load is applied as in modeling E, but the load in the third direction is added.
