v6.08.102 SSND102 — Law of non-linear kinematic behavior for discrete elements

Summary:

The problem is a quasistatic non-linear problem in structural mechanics. It is a law with non-linear kinematic work hardening. The response of discrete elements supporting a law of non-linear kinematic behavior under a cyclic loading is analyzed.

The discrete elements tested are:

1. \(\mathrm{3D}\) (K_T_D_L, K_ TR_D_L, K_T_D_N, K_ TR_D_N);

2. \(\mathrm{2D}\) (K_T_D_L, K_ TR_D_L, K_T_D_N, K_ TR_D_N).

All degrees of freedom are tested, the parameters of loading while moving and those of the kinematic law are different for all degrees of freedom in order to cover different situations.

The reference solutions are obtained analytically or by comparison with an external application.
