.. _V6.08.103: **v6.08.103** SSND103 - Validation of a bilinear law of behavior on a discrete element (application to bolted assemblies) ====================================================================================================================================== **Summary:** The objective of this test case is to validate a bilinear law of behavior relating to a discrete element. This law of behavior was developed as part of a study in which the behavior of the screw in a bolted connection is modelled by a discrete element affected by the same behavior. The law of behavior DIS_BILI_ELAS requires as arguments the two apparent stiffness of the screw (elements of the assembly in contact or not) as well as the value of the pre-tightening force imposed on the screw. It is verified, for various temperatures and different directions of stress, that the slopes of the load curves obtained, when the discrete one is stressed, correspond to the apparent stiffness and that the slope break corresponds to the imposed pre-tightening force. .. toctree:: :hidden: self .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :numbered: _math___stackrel____U__Probl_me_de_r_f_rence Solution_de_r_f_rence Mod_lisation_A Mod_lisation_B Mod_lisation_C Synth_se_des_r_sultats
