SSNA108 - Models of Weibull, Bordet and of Rice

and Tracey

Summary:

This test of nonlinear quasi-static mechanics makes it possible to validate the models of Weibull and Rice -
Tracey in 2D (order POST_ELEM) and of Bordet (order CALC_BORDET) in the case of a notched axisymmetric
test-tube subjected to a simple tensile test.

The modeling of the test-tube is carried out with elements 2D (QUA8).

1 Problem of reference
1.1 Geometry
A notched cylindrical test-tube is considered:

• diameter of the test-tube: 18 mm ,

• ray of the notch: 5 mm .

1.2 Properties of material

One adopts an elastoplastic law of behavior of Von Mises with isotropic work hardening TRACTION
whose traction diagram is given point by point:

 0.0027 0,005 0.01 0,015 0.02 0,025 0.03 0.04 0.05 0,075 0.1
 ( MPa ) 555 589 631 657 676 691 704 725 741 772 794

0,125 0.15 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9
812 827 851 887 912 933 950 965 978 990

The deformations used in the relation of behavior are the linearized deformations. The Young modulus
E rise with 200 GPa while the Poisson's ratio  is worth 0,3 .
The coefficients of the models of Weibull and Bordet used are the following:

m=8 ,
V 0 =100  m ,
 u =2630 MPa ,
 ys ,0= ys 555MPa ,
 th = 600MPa .

1.3 Boundary conditions and loadings

While referring to the figure of [§3.1] the boundary conditions are the following ones:

• BC : following imposed displacement Y  ,

• OA : displacements blocked according to Y  ,
• OB : displacements blocked according to  X  .

1.4 Initial conditions

Worthless constraints and deformations.
