2. Benchmark solution#

2.1. Thermo-elastic solution#

The reference solution is digital. It is obtained with Code_Aster for a fine mesh (20 elements in the thickness). The TP is carried out with a very coarse mesh (3 elements in the thickness), so it is not surprising to obtain results that are quite far from the reference solution.

Indeed, the aim of the TP is to show:

  • for the thermal calculation, the effects of exceeding the maximum, the instability of the explicit diagram and the contribution of the diagonalization of the thermal mass matrix,

  • for mechanical calculation, the stresses due to the incompatibility of thermal deformations, even if the cylinder is free, then the incremental aspects of the calculation with STAT_NON_LINE.

The values tested are:

Instant ( \(s\) )

Max temperature ( \(\mathit{Tmax}\) ) en \(°C\)

Number of nodes reached by \(\mathit{Tmax}\) and node numbers
