Figure 5.1-a: Meshing and boundary conditions
Modeling: DKTG
Boundary conditions: Traction — Compression and Flexion coupling:
\(\mathrm{DX}=0.0\) and \(\mathrm{DRY}=0.0\) on the \({A}_{1}-{A}_{3}\) edge
\(\mathrm{DX}={U}_{0}\times f(t)\) and \(\mathrm{DRY}={R}_{0}\times f(t)\) on the \({A}_{2}-{A}_{4}\) edge,
where \({U}_{0}=1.5\times {10}^{-4}\), \({R}_{0}=5.\times {10}^{-3}\), and \(f(t)\) is the magnitude of cyclic loading as a function of the (pseudo-time) parameter \(t\). Two types of loading are considered:
The same loading function \(\mathrm{f1}\) for membrane and flexure (synchronous case):

The \(\mathrm{f2}\) function of membrane loading twice as fast as that of flexure (in practice, the membrane frequencies of a slab are higher than those of flexure):

Remarks
These results are obtained using the material parameters that were identified from the A tests (for membrane parameters) and B tests (for flexure parameters). Although the results of the GLRC_DMen tensile — pure compression and pure flexure model are very satisfactory compared to the multilayer reference calculation, the error of the GLRC_DMen membrane coupling — flexure model in the non-linear phase is significant. It is observed that the response in the elastic phase is correct and that the difference is due to the criterion for the onset of damage. With reference to the curves, it can be seen that in membrane-flexure coupling, the damage thresholds (\({N}_{D}\) and \({M}_{D}\)) already identified from pure tension-compression tests and pure flexure, give an overestimation in the case of flexion-membrane coupling compared to the reference solution. This leads to a significant error in the following phases.
It is proposed to lower the values of \({N}_{D}\) and \({M}_{D}\) by 10% in order to reduce this error. (cf. [R7.01.32] model GLRC_DM, §3.2.1).
5.5. Tested quantities and results: elastic loading#
In this modeling, it is verified that the results obtained for elastic loading are identical for:
a MECA_STATIQUE calculation with a ELAS_GLRC law
a STAT_NON_LINE calculation with a ELAS_GLRC law
a STAT_NON_LINE calculation with a GLRC_DM law
We compare the membrane forces along x and the moments of bending along x at the moment \(t=1s\) for the point located at \(x=\mathrm{0,83333}m\) and at \(y=\mathrm{0,9166667}m\).

a MECA_STATIQUE calculation with a ELAS_DHRC law
a STAT_NON_LINE calculation with a ELAS_DHRC law
a calculation STAT_NON_LINEavec a law DHRC
We compare the membrane forces following \(x\) and the bending moments following \(x\) at the time \(t=1s\) for the point located in \(x=\mathrm{0,83333}m\) and in \(y=\mathrm{0,9166667}m\).
