2.1. Calculation of the reference solution (cf. bib [1] and [3])#

For a tensile test in direction \(x\), the Kirchhoff \(\tau\) and Cauchy \(\sigma\) tensors are of the form:

_images/Object_22.svg

and

_images/Object_23.svg

with

_images/Object_24.svg

The change in volume

_images/Object_25.svg

is given by the resolution of

_images/Object_26.svg

where

_images/Object_27.svg

is thermal deformation. This applies to an austenitic — bainitic transformation:

the cumulative plastic deformation

_images/Object_34.svg

The gradient tensors of the transformation

_images/Object_35.svg

and

_images/Object_36.svg

and the plastic deformation tensor

_images/Object_37.svg

are of the form:

_images/Object_38.svg

The law of evolution of plastic deformation

_images/Object_39.svg

is written:

_images/Object_40.svg
  • For

    _images/Object_41.svg

, we have

_images/Object_42.svg

. There is no transformation plasticity. We then obtain:

_images/Object_43.svg
  • For

    _images/Object_44.svg

, we have

_images/Object_45.svg

.

To integrate the law of evolution of plastic deformation, it must be assumed that the Kirchhoff stress \(\tau\) varies very little, that is to say that the change in volume

_images/Object_46.svg

is very small. Under this hypothesis, we obtain

_images/Object_47.svg

The component

_images/Object_48.svg

of the transformation gradient is given by the resolution of:

_images/Object_49.svg

Finally, the displacement field \(u\) (in the initial configuration) is of the form

_images/Object_50.svg

. The components are given by:

2.2. note#

In test case HSNV101 (modeling B), the coefficients of the material were chosen in such a way as to have no classical plasticity

_images/Object_52.svg

during the metallurgical transformation that takes place between moments \(60\) and \(\mathrm{122s}\). In fact, if we write the charge—discharge criterion in this time interval, we obtain

_images/Object_53.svg

with

_images/Object_54.svg

which is cancelled out for only one value of the cumulative plastic deformation

_images/Object_55.svg

.

For the law of behavior written in large deformations, the charge—discharge criterion is written between these two moments

_images/Object_56.svg

with

_images/Object_57.svg

In this case, as long as the variable

_images/Object_58.svg

remains less than the value obtained in time \(t\mathrm{=}\mathrm{60s}\), we will have

_images/Object_59.svg

. However, the value of

_images/Object_60.svg

is a function only of the thermal deformation value (stress \(\sigma\) is constant) and the coefficient

_images/Object_61.svg

is independent of metallurgical phases and temperature).

In this time interval, thermal deformation

_images/Object_62.svg

is given by the following equation:

_images/Object_63.svg

The thermal deformation as well as the volume variation are plotted below.

Volume variation

_images/Object_65.svg

depending on the time

It can be seen that the variable

_images/Object_66.svg

decreases and increases in the same way as thermal deformation. In this case, to find out the time from which the variable

_images/Object_67.svg

is greater than the value obtained at time \(\mathrm{60s}\), it is sufficient to know the instant for which the thermal deformation is identical to that obtained at time \(t\mathrm{=}\mathrm{60s}\). By solving the equation above, we find \(t\mathrm{=}\mathrm{84.46s}\).

2.3. Uncertainty about the solution#

The solution is analytical. Two mistakes are made with this solution. The first relates to the calculation of the proportion of bainitic phase created. The preliminary metallurgical calculation does not exactly restore the equation of [§1.2] giving

_images/Object_68.svg

as a function of time, which is why the reference results presented below are calculated with the proportion of bainitic phase calculated by Code_Aster.

The second error is the assumption made on the Kirchhoff constraint \(\tau\) which is not constant over the time interval between \(60\) and \(\mathrm{176s}\). This will impact the displacement calculation.

_images/Object_69.svg

and plastic deformation

_images/Object_70.svg

.

2.4. Benchmark results#

As reference results, we will adopt the displacement in the direction of tensile loading, the Cauchy stress \(\sigma\), the Boolean plasticity indicator \(\chi\) and the cumulative plastic deformation.

_images/Object_71.svg

. The different calculation times are \(t\mathrm{=}\mathrm{47,}\mathrm{48,}\mathrm{60,}\mathrm{83,}\mathrm{84,}85\) and \(\mathrm{176s}\). For the calculation of the displacement, the initial length of the bar in the loading direction is \(\mathrm{0.2m}\).

In any case, we have

  • \(\mathrm{3K}\mathrm{=}500000\mathit{MPa}\) (compression module) \(\mu \mathrm{=}76923.077\mathit{MPa}\)

At time \(t\mathrm{=}\mathrm{47s}\), we have
