1. Reference problem#

1.1. Device description#

The non-linear element is represented by the rheological model below.

Figure a : Device model.

Length of SEG2: \(L=0.1m\)

The equations governing behavior are in [R5.03.17].

1.2. Modeling#

The modeling tested is on an element DIS_T, mesh SEG2. The characteristic of the discrete element is of the type: K_T_D_L.

Note: The units of the parameters must agree with the unit of effort, the unit of lengths [R5.03.17]. For all models the units are homogeneous to [N], [m].

1.2.1. A, B models#

These models make it possible to test the non-linear static cyclic behavior of the law.

1.3. Material properties#

1.3.1. Modeling A#

The properties are:

  • the non-linear function [R5.03.17].

  • the values of dist1 and dist2. For this modeling, they are zero.

The table shows the x-axis and ordinate values of the function.

1.3.2. B modeling#

The properties are:

  • the non-linear function [R5.03.17]. Same as modeling « a ».

  • the values of dist1 and dist2. For this modeling \(\text{DIST1}=0.50\ast L\), \(\text{DIST2}=0.25\ast L\)

1.4. Boundary conditions and loads#

1.4.1. A, B models#

The discrete is a SEG2, the node N2 is blocked, on the node N1 the movement condition is imposed.

The moving condition is a function of time, longSeg2 is the length of SEG2.
