3. B modeling#

3.1. Characteristics of modeling#

B modeling is done in 3D, using STAT_NON_LINE.

The time step is \(\mathrm{\Delta }t=\mathrm{0,1}\mathit{sec}\), which is 300 time increments. The automatic redistribution of the time step is activated.

A slight asymmetry of \(\mathrm{ϵ}={10}^{-3}\) is introduced on the horizontal load in order to avoid an excessively marked singularity of the tangent matrix when entering plasticity:

\(\{\begin{array}{c}{\mathrm{\sigma }}_{\mathit{xx}}={\mathrm{\sigma }}_{0}\\ {\mathrm{\sigma }}_{\mathit{yy}}={\mathrm{\sigma }}_{0}\left(1+{10}^{-3}\right)\end{array}\)

This asymmetry is not taken into account in the modelling D for which the criterion is regular on a triaxial compression path.

3.2. Tested sizes and results#

3.2.1. Tested values#

The solutions are calculated at point:math: C and compared to the analytical solution at the final time:math: t=30mathit {sec} `. They are given in terms of vertical constrains:math: `{mathrm {sigma}}} _ {mathit {zz}} and horizontal:math: {mathrm {sigma}}} _ {mathit {xx}}} _ {mathit {xx}}} _ {mathit {xx}}}} _ {mathit {xx}}}, of plastic volume deformation:math: {mathrm {epsilon}}} _ {v} ^ {p}}} _ {v} ^ {p}} and plastic deviatory deformation:math: `| {mathrm {epsilon}} _ {d} ^ {p} |=sqrt {frac {3} {2}left (mathrm {epsilon} -frac {epsilon}} -frac {{mathrm {epsilon}}} _ {v} ^ {p}} {3} Iepsilon} -frac {{epsilon} -frac {{mathrm {epsilon}}} _ {v} ^ {p}} {3} Iepsilon} -frac {mathrm {epsilon}} _ {v} ^ {p}} {3} Iepsilon} -frac thrm {:}left (mathrm {epsilon} -frac {{mathrm {epsilon}}} _ {v} ^ {p}} {3} Iright)}} `, and summarized in the following table:

3.2.2. Comments#

The deviation from the reference solution is very small (less than \({10}^{-5}\text{\%}\)).
