1. Reference problem#
The sole purpose of these tests is to validate the non-regression of the laws.
1.1. Geometry#
The tests are based on a unit cubic finite element with 8 knots.
1.2. Property of the materials#
Attention: the material parameters used in these tests are not realistic. They are only used to test laws in a computer way, they should not be used in real calculations.
Material properties are specified in DEFI_MATERIAU with the names FLUA_PORO_BETON, ENDO_PORO_BETON, FLUA_ENDO_PORO, and RGI_BETON.
1.3. Boundary conditions#
Perpendicular movements along three faces of the cube are blocked for all models.
An external uniaxial load is applied in the following models:
Modeling A: \(50\mathit{MPa}\)
C modeling: \(9\mathit{MPa}\)
D modeling: \(1\mathit{MPa}\)
E modeling: \(\mathrm{0,01}\mathit{MPa}\)
An imposed displacement is applied in the following models:
B modeling:
1.Traction: \({\mathrm{\epsilon }}_{\mathit{xx}}=\mathrm{2,0}\times {10}^{-3}\)
2.Closure: \({\mathrm{\epsilon }}_{\mathit{xx}}=0\)
3.Traction: \({\mathrm{\epsilon }}_{\mathit{xx}}=\mathrm{1,0}\times {10}^{-3}\)
4.Compression: \({\mathrm{\epsilon }}_{\mathit{xx}}=-\mathrm{1,0}\times {10}^{-3}\)
5.Closure: \({\mathrm{\epsilon }}_{\mathit{xx}}=0\)
6.Compression: \({\mathrm{\epsilon }}_{\mathit{xx}}=-\mathrm{2,0}\times {10}^{-3}\)
7.Closure: \({\mathrm{\epsilon }}_{\mathit{xx}}=0\)
F modeling:
1.Traction: \({\mathrm{\epsilon }}_{\mathit{xx}}=\mathrm{8,0}\times {10}^{-5}\)
