.. _V6.08.101: **v6.08.101** SSND101 — Behavioral law for viscous dampers on discrete elements ==================================================================================================== **Summary:** We test the response of the nonlinear viscous damper behavior model DIS_VISC, of the "generalized Zener" type, cf. [:ref:`R5.03.17 `], formulated on discrete elements for SEG2 or POI1 meshes. Although it is a viscous law, it is the STAT_NON_LINE operator that is used for validation. The response of discrete elements supporting a viscous nonlinear law of behavior under a harmonic loading is analyzed. The models are as follows: * A) static in non-linear cyclic, * B) static in linear cyclic and calculation of the dissipation, * C) static nonlinear creep, * D) static non-linear, by modeling a MAXWELL shock absorber. The models and discrete elements tested are in :math:`\mathrm{3D}` with the DIS_Tet DIS_TR models and the elementary characteristics: (K_T_D_L, K_ TR_D_L, K_T_D_N, K_ TR_D_N, A_T_D_L, M_T_D_L, M_T_D_L), according to the type of mesh and element. This behavior is also validated for dynamic solicitations in test case SDND107 [:ref:`V5.01.107 `] with the operators DYNA_VIBRA, DYNA_TRAN_MODAL and DYNA_NON_LINE. .. toctree:: :hidden: self .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :numbered: Probl_me_de_r_f_rence Solutions_de_r_f_rence Mod_lisation_A Mod_lisation_B Mod_lisation_C Mod_lisation_D Synth_se_des_r_sultats
