1.1. Geometry#

_images/100006C600002E82000018E8B5BDC14137EACC6C.svg

Steel piston connected to the solid by a spring and coupled to a column of incompressible fluid:

length:

\(L=1.0m\)

width:

\(d=0.25m\)

piston width \(\mathit{AB}\):

\(0.05m\)

X-points (in \(m\) ) :

\(A\)

\(B\)

\(L\)

\(x\)

—0.05

1.2. Material properties#

Fluid:

Water : \({\rho }_{0}=1000.0{\mathrm{Kg.m}}^{-3}\)

Solid:

Steel: \({\rho }_{S}=7800.0{\mathrm{Kg.m}}^{-3}\); \(E=2.E11\mathrm{Pa}\); \(\nu =0.3\)

Spring connecting the piston to the solid:

Discrete element of the K_T_D_L type: \(K\mathrm{=}(1.E5,1.E5,1.E5)N\mathrm{/}m\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loading#

Pressure is imposed (i.e. by thermal analogy a zero temperature [R4.07.03]) at all the nodes at the end of the fluid column.

The spring is forced to be embedded on the solid and a zero displacement of the piston is imposed according to \(\mathrm{Oy}\).
