4.1. Characteristics of modeling#

4.1.1. Simulation 1#

This is a thermomechanical test with zero imposed deformation along axis \(x\). The test is performed on an element of BARRE with the STAT_NON_LINE command. The temperature varies from \({T}_{0}=20°C\) to \({T}_{\mathrm{max}}=500°C\). The material is able to be plasticized. The transition consists of NCAL steps. The reference temperature is \({T}_{\mathrm{ref}}=20°C\).

4.1.2. Simulation 2#

It is a question of looping on mechanical NCALcalculs. For each calculation \(i\), the imposed load consists of the thermal deformation \({\varepsilon }_{\mathrm{xx}}=-{\varepsilon }_{\mathrm{th}}=-\alpha (T)({T}_{i}-{T}_{\mathrm{Ref}})\). The initial load consists of the deformations, stresses and internal variables from the previous mechanical calculation.

4.2. Material properties#

The law of behavior tested is” VMIS_ISOT_LINE “documented in doc [R5.03.09]. This law uses symmetric linear isotropic work hardening.

The elastic parameters are as follows:

\(E(T)\), \(\nu (T)\), and \(\alpha (T)\)

The elastoplastic parameters are as follows:

\({\sigma }_{y}(T)\), \({E}_{T}(T)\)

4.3. Tested sizes and results#

Validation is carried out by comparing the fields calculated at each step of the transient on the one hand and the result of a mechanical calculation on the other hand.

The command used is TEST_TABLE which tests the reference value against the calculated value.

The reference value being the field component extracted at a given time \(i\) from the first thermo-mechanical simulation carried out over NCAL times. The calculated value is the one obtained at the end of the mechanical calculation \(i+1\) of the loop on the NCAL.
