Estudo e aplicação de modelos constitutivos para o concreto fundamentados na mecânica do dano contínuo / Study and application of the constitutive models for the concrete based on the continuum damage mechanicsJosé Julio de Cerqueira Pituba 22 April 1998 (has links)
No trabalho estudam-se alguns aspectos relativos à formulação teórica e à simulação numérica de modelos constitutivos para o concreto fundamentados na Mecânica do Dano Contínuo, incluindo-se os chamados métodos simplificados de análise estrutural. Inicialmente apresenta-se uma discussão sobre deformações permanentes e anisotropia induzidas pela evolução do dano. A resposta unilateral do concreto submetido a solicitações com inversão de sinal, também é comentada. Cada um dos fenômenos é ilustrado por respostas observadas experimentalmente. O modelo de dano proposto por Mazars para o concreto submetido a carregamento proporcionalmente crescente é então analisado. Em seguida, apresenta-se uma extensão do modelo considerando-se o aspecto unilateral no comportamento do concreto. Na sequência, analisa-se o modelo constitutivo proposto por La Borderie em seus aspectos de formulação e resposta numérica. O modelo é mais completo permitindo levar em conta todos os fenômenos discutidos anteriormente. Um outro aspecto considerado no trabalho é relativo à aplicação dos modelos estudados à análise de estruturas aporticadas. Em termos de discretização destacam-se a técnica de divisão dos elementos estruturais em estratos e os chamados modelos simplificados. Neste último caso, o modelo de Flórez-López é analisado e a simplificação consiste na definição prévia, sobre a estrutura discretizada através de elementos de viga e de coluna, de zonas de localização da plastificação e do dano; no limite com a evolução do processo de carregamento, aquelas zonas passam a se constituir em rótulas. Por último uma generalização do modelo anterior proposta por Álvares é estudada. Os resultados numéricos fornecidos pelos modelos são confrontados com os experimentais de vigas em concreto armado (biapoiadas e com diferentes taxas de armadura) e de um pórtico em concreto armado. / In this work some aspects related to the theoretical formulation and numerical simulation of constitutive models for the concrete based on the Continuum Damage Mechanics are studied, including simplified methods of structural analysis. Initially a discussion about permanent strains and anisotropy induced by the evolution of the damage is presented. The unilateral response of the concrete submitted to loadings with signal inversion is commented as well. Each one of the phenomena is illustrated by experimental tests. The damage model proposed by Mazars for the concrete under proportional increasing load is then analysed. Afterwards, it is shown an extension of the model considering the unilateral aspect ofthe concrete behaviour. In the sequence the constitutive model proposed by La Borderie is presented in its aspects of formulation and numerical response. This model is more complete, allowing to take in to account all the phenomena discussed previously. Another aspect considered in the work is related to the application of the models studied to the analysis of framed structures. Regarding the discretization, the technique of division of the structural elements in layers and the so called simplified models are enhanced. In this last case, the model proposed by Flórez-López is analysed and the simplification consists on previous definition of yielding and damage zones over the assembly of beam and colunm elements, which compose the discretized structure; in the limit evolution of the loading process, these zones become hinges. Finally, a generalization of the previous model proposed by Álvares is studied. The numerical results supplied by the models are compared with the experimental results of reinforced concrete beams (simply supported and with different reinforced rates) and of a reinforced concrete frame.

CJS-RE : a hierarchical constitutive model for rammed earth / CJS-RE : un modèle constitutif hiérarchisée pour le matériau piséAdi Riyono, Winarputro 06 October 2017 (has links)
Le pisé est une technique constructive vernaculaire consistant à compacter successivement des couches de terre humide entre des coffrages. Cette technique, présente dans le monde entier, l'est en particulier en France dans la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Comme il n'existe pas de réglementation attachée à cette technique constructive, il est très difficile pour des propriétaires de réparer leur bien. Le développement de cette technique pour de nouveaux projets souffre aussi de cette absence alors qu'elle répond à certains enjeux posés par le Développement Durable. Le travail présenté ici fait partie intégrante du projet national PRIMATERRE dédié à l'étude des constructions impliquant de la terre. Une loi de comportement élasto-plastique est développée dans ce travail pour modéliser le comportement du pisé. Elle s'appuie sur une approche hiérarchisée de la modélisation en lien avec le nombre d'essais disponibles pour identifier les paramètres de modèle mais aussi en lien avec la complexité de phénomènes à prendre en compte. Ce modèle s'inspire d'un modèle pré-existant, CJS, développé en géotechnique pour modéliser le comportement mécanique des matériaux granulaires. Une adaptation s'est imposée pour prendre en compte les spécificités du comportement mécanique du pisé qui possède de nombreuses similitudes avec celui des matériaux quasi-fragiles. Deux niveaux de modélisation pour le modèle de comportement appelé CJS-RE sont présentés, pouvant être utilisés dans un contexte de sollicitation monotone. Le premier niveau CJS-RE1 est un modèle élastique parfaitement plastique alors que le second niveau CJS-RE2 est un modèle élasto-plastique à écrouissage isotrope. Deux mécanismes de déformation plastique sont présents, l'un lié aux phénomènes purement déviatoires et l'autre aux phénomènes de traction. La validation du modèle a été entreprise sur la base de la simulation d'essais en laboratoire de compression diagonale et de chargement latéral (pushover) sur des murets, issus de la littérature. Le niveau CJS-RE1 a été capable de capturer les phénomènes essentiels issus de ces deux tests et peut être utilisé comme une première approches des problèmes. Le niveau CJS-RE2 a permis de retrouver plus précisément le comportement non linéaire du pisé sur une large gamme de déformations, que ce soit dans l'essai de compression diagonale ou dans le pushover. Enfin, la prise en compte d'interfaces entre les couches dans la modélisation semble constituer une approche surdimensionnée lorsque seule la résistance d'un système constitué en pisé est recherchée. Cependant, parce qu'elles apportent une certaine ductilité au système dans la modélisation, elles peuvent être utilisées lorsque des résultats plus détaillés sont attendus. / Rammed earth is a vernacular building technique consisting in compacting successively layers of moist earth within formworks. This technique is present worldwide and in particular in the region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in France. As no regulation exists for rammed earth structures in France, the owners of such structures are helpless at the time when repairing damages appearing in any aging heritage structures. Moreover, this lack of regulation tends to slow down the development of such a constructive solution in new projects though this technique answers many of the issues raised by the sustainable development. The work presented herein is part of the national research project PRIMATERRE devoted to the study of construction building involving earth. Herein, an elasto-plastic constitutive law is developed for modeling the behavior of rammed earth. It is based on a hierarchical approach of the modeling in relation to the information available to identify the set of model parameters and the refinement of phenomena to be modelled. This model was adapted from a pre-existing CJS model used in advanced foundation engineering for the modelling of granular soils. The necessary adaptation of some mechanisms of the model in the context of rammed earth material which holds the characteristics of a quasi-brittle material is highlighted. Two levels for the model denoted CJS-RE which can be used in the context of monotonous loadings are presented herein. The first level is a simple elastic perfectly plastic model (CJS-RE1) and the second model is an elasto-plastic model with an isotropic hardening (CJS-RE2). Two mechanisms of plastic deformation are involved, one related to purely deviatoric phenomena and one related to tensile phenomena. The validation of the model was performed based on different sets of actual tests including diagonal compression tests and pushover tests on wallets. The simple elasto-plastic model CJS-RE1 was able to capture some basic features for these two tests and may be used for a first estimate of the system resistance. The more sophisticated model CJS-RE2 was found better to retrieve the nonlinear behavior of rammed earth over a larger range of deformations throughout both a diagonal compression test and a pushover test. Finally, the modelling of interfaces between layers of earth seems oversized when the resistance of the system is investigated. However, since they may influence the simulated ductility of the system, they may be used to model the behavior of rammed earth system more precisely.

Bending Analysis of Nonlocal Functionally Graded BeamsGarbin, F., Garbin, F., Levano, A., Arciniega, R. 07 February 2020 (has links)
In this paper, we study the nonlocal linear bending behavior of functionally graded beams subjected to distributed loads. A finite element formulation for an improved first-order shear deformation theory for beams with five independent variables is proposed. The formulation takes into consideration 3D constitutive equations. Eringen's nonlocal differential model is used to rewrite the nonlocal stress resultants in terms of displacements. The finite element formulation is derived by means of the principle of virtual work. High-order nodal-spectral interpolation functions were utilized to approximate the field variables, which minimizes the locking problem. Numerical results and comparisons of the present formulation with those found in the literature for typical benchmark problems involving nonlocal beams are found to be satisfactory and show the validity of the developed finite element model.

Multiscale Modeling of Multiphase PolymersLawrimore, William Brantley 12 August 2016 (has links)
Accurately simulating material systems in a virtual environment requires the synthesis and utilization of all relevant information regarding performance mechanisms for the material occurring over a range of length and time scales. Multiscale modeling is the basis for the Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) Paradigm and is a powerful tool for accurate material simulations. However, while ICME has experienced adoption among those in the metals community, it has not gained traction in polymer research. This thesis seeks establish a hierarchical multiscale modeling methodology for simulating polymers containing secondary phases. The investigation laid out in the chapters below uses mesoscopic Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as a foundation to build a multiscale modeling methodology for polymer material systems. At the mesoscale a Design of Experiments (DOE) parametric study utilizing FEA of polymers containing defects compared the relative impacts of a selection of parameters on damage growth and coalescence in polymers. Of the parameters considered, the applied stress state proved to be the most crucial parameter affecting damage growth and coalescence. At the macroscale, the significant influence of the applied stress state on damage growth and coalescence in polymers (upscaled from the mesoscale) motivated an expansion of the Bouvard Internal State Variable (ISV) (Bouvard et al. 2013) polymer model stress state sensitivity. Deviatoric stress invariants were utilized to modify the Bouvard ISV model to account for asymmetry in polymer mechanical performance across different stress states (tension, compression, torsion). Lastly, this work implements a hierarchical multiscale modeling methodology to examine parametric effects of heterogeneities on Polymer/Clay Nanocomposite’s (PCNs) mechanical performance under uncertainty. A Virtual Composite Structure Generator (VCSG) built three-dimensional periodic Representative Volume Elements (RVEs) coupled to the Bouvard ISV model and a Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) which featured a Traction-Separation (T-S) rule calibrated to results upscaled from Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. A DOE parametric examination utilized the RVEs to determine the relative effects of a selection of parameters on the mechanical performance of PCNs. DOE results determined that nanoclay particle orientation was the most influential parameter affecting PCN elastic modulus while intercalated interlamellar gallery strength had the greatest influence on PCN yield stress

A MULTI-CONSTITUENT FINITE STRAIN HYPERELASTIC MAGNETOQUASISTATIC MODEL FOR MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL ELASTOMERSJacob C Mcgough (17538099) 02 December 2023 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are a type of smart material composed of ferrous particles suspended in a solid elastic matrix [5, 6]. When an external magnetic field is applied to an MRE, the ferrous particles tend to align with the field, causing either deformation and/or a change in the mechanical properties of the system. MREs are utilized in applications such as soft robotics, actuators, sensors, vibration control systems, and mechanical metamaterials[20, 19, 27, 5, 6, 13]. Recent demand for theses technologies has motivated an increasing focus on the material properties of MRE’s over the last 20 years [6]. Multiple authors have proposed a variety of hyperelastic mechanical and magnetomechanical models to describe these materials [16, 12, 15, 25, 14, 38, 2, 6, 8, 24]. The research presented in this dissertation focuses on the modeling and characterization of MRE’s using a systematic development of the conservation and balance laws, Maxwell’s equations, and constitutive equations needed to describe the MRE as a multi-constituent system. The material parameters resulting from the derived constitutive equations are estimated using data collected from a series of compression experiments coupled with an externally applied magnetic field. The multi-constituent constitutive equations predicted the stress of the MRE in these compression experiments for a variety of ferrous particle concentrations.</p>
