Análise dinâmica bidimensional não-linear física e geométrica de treliças de aço e pórticos de concreto armado / Physical and geometrical non-linear two-dimensional dynamic analysis of steel trusses and reinforced concrete frames

Rodrigues, Rogério de Oliveira 26 May 1997 (has links)
Este trabalho trata da análise dinâmica bidimensional de treliças de aço e pórticos de concreto armado, onde estudam-se os efeitos da não-linearidade física desses materiais e os efeitos da não-linearidade geométrica de tais estruturas. Neste contexto, define-se a equação geral que descreve o comportamento de estruturas discretizadas por elementos finitos, utilizando-se o Princípio dos Trabalhos Virtuais para estruturas em movimento. Para a integração temporal dessa equação, utiliza-se um método implícito de integração numérica, onde adota-se um processo previsor-corretor com auxílio das equações generalizadas de Newmark. Na análise da não-linearidade geométrica, define-se o campo de deformações através de uma função quadrática dos deslocamentos, que ocorrem ao longo de cada elemento finito, sendo que para treliças planas consideram-se todas as parcelas provenientes de tal relação e para pórticos planos desprezam-se os termos que contém produtos de parcelas de ordem superior. Para descrever a posição de equilíbrio do sistema estrutural ao longo do processo de integração numérica, utiliza-se a formulação Lagrangeana atualizada que resulta na dedução das matrizes de rigidez incrementais secante e tangente. Com relação à não-linearidade física do aço, elabora-se uma modelagem numérica através da utilização de um diagrama tensão x deformação bilinear, destacando-se os modelos cinemático, isotrópico e independente. Já para a não-linearidade física do concreto armado, elabora-se uma modelagem numérica através da utilização dos modelos propostos pelo CEB e pelo ACI, onde corrige-se o valor do momento de inércia em função do grau de fissuração do elemento. Estas modelagens contemplam, também, o comportamento para carregamento cíclico e sua inversão. Para finalizar, apresentam-se com posterior análises qualitativa e quantitativa dos resultados. / This work deals with the two-dimensional dynamic analysis of steel trusses and reinforced concrete frames. The physical non-linear effects of these materials as well as the geometrical non-linearity of such structures are studied. In this context, a general equation that describes the behaviour of structures approximated by finite elements is defined, using the Virtual Works Principle for structures in movement. In order to integrate this differential equation along the time an implicit procedure is adopted based on the predictor-corrector process taking into account the Newmark\'s generalised equations. For the geometrical non-linear analysis, the deformation field is defined by assuming displacements approximated along each finite element by quadratic shape functions. All terms resulting from that assumption are taken into account for the plane trusses, while for plane frame, terms representing higher order products are neglected. In order to describe the equilibrium position of the structural system, during the numeric integration process, the updated Lagrangean formulation is used to give the secant and tangent incremental stiffness matrices. Regarding the steel non-linear physical behaviour, a numerical procedure is achieved based on a bilinear stress-strain curve that is able to describe kinematic, isotropic and independent responses. For the reinforced concrete physical non-linear behaviour the well known CEB and ACI models were taken to derive and implement the numeric process. In this case, the moment of inertia is corrected according to the element level of cracking. These models also consider the material behaviour when cyclic loads are applied causing stress sign inversion. Finally, numeric examples are presented to illustrate the quality and accuracy of obtained results.

Characterization of stress-deformation behaviour of municipal solid waste

Singh, Manoj Kumar 05 September 2008
Several catastrophic failures have occurred during the past two decades, both in engineered as well as non-engineered landfills. In addition, there are numerous instances of significant deformations, although not failure in the sense of significant and rapid downslope mass movement, which may cause sufficient damage to buried gas and leachate collection infrastructure. One such instance was observed in 1999 near the toe of a 75 m high 4H:1V slope at the Brock West Landfill in Ontario, Canada. Significant distortion of gas collection laterals was observed at this site. The present research is an in-depth study intended to examine deformation in landfills based on a detailed study of the mechanical properties of municipal solid waste. Four research objectives were defined based on identified shortcomings and knowledge gaps in the existing literature pertaining to mechanical properties of MSW viz; (a) to develop a method for obtaining intact samples of MSW and to examine the significance of using intact and recompacted samples in characterizing the stress-deformation behaviour of MSW; (b) to characterize MSW shear strength and Youngs modulus of elasticity from interpretation of triaxial test results and to determine the parameters of a non-linear elastic constitutive model as applied to MSW; (c) to measure the evolution of compressibility behaviour of MSW with degradation and verify the mechanism of secondary compression in waste; (d) to develop a simple design chart for predicting lateral deformations in landfills. A comprehensive research program was carried out to address various research objectives - field monitoring of deformations at the Brock West site; triaxial compression tests on large intact and recompacted samples of waste; simulating waste degradation in a large laboratory compression cell; analyzing stress-strain data from various published studies and a numerical modelling study. Interpretation of the effective stress paths followed during shearing in triaxial compression tests suggested that while recompacted samples may be sufficient to characterize shear strength parameters for use in stability analysis of landfill slopes, there might be a benefit in obtaining intact samples to evaluate the deformation characteristics of MSW. A hyperbolic model is proposed to describe the stress-deformation response of waste. The required parameters for this model were determined from evaluation of the results of numerous triaxial tests, both from this study and from the published literature. Observations from the long-term degradation test suggested that degradation has a significant effect on the compressibility of waste and further verifies the mechanism of secondary compression in waste. The coefficient of at-rest lateral pressure was observed to maintain an essentially constant value during combined compression and degradation.<p>The results obtained from the experimental work were combined with the findings of a stochastic numerical modelling study and a statistical evaluation of published data and used to propose a simple design chart for estimating the maximum lateral displacement in a landfill slope. The design chart was developed using results of a finite element parametric study in which the behaviour of the municipal solid waste was modeled using a non-linear elastic hyperbolic model. The design chart incorporates nonlinear variation in unit weight as well as Youngs modulus with depth. The predictions from the design chart were compared with the results of field monitoring of lateral displacement in the instrumented slope at the Brock West landfill and were found to be in good agreement.

Modélisation du comportement, de l'endommagement et de la rupture de matériaux composites à renforts tissés pour le dimensionnement robuste de structures

Marcin, Lionel 29 January 2010 (has links)
De par leur bonne tenue à l’impact, les matériaux composites tissés sont de bons candidats pour la conception de pièces aéronautiques. Toutefois, le manque de confiance dans les modèles se traduit par de lourdes campagnes expérimentales. L’augmentation de la part de simulation numérique et donc la réduction des coûts de certification passent par le développement d’outils permettant de dimensionner au plus juste les structures composites tissées à matrice organique (CMO) ou céramique (CMC). C’est dans ce cadre que s’inscrit cette thèse. Les formulations proposées par l’Onera a?n de décrire l’e?et de l’endommagement matriciel ont été adaptées et étendues pour prendre en compte les spéci?cités des matériaux de notre étude, en particulier la viscosité pour les CMO. Des essais sur pièces génériques ont été simulés et confrontés à l’expérience dans le but d’évaluer la pertinence des modèles développés. Ces comparaisons en partie validantes ont mis en évidence les limites des modèles dans le cadre de l’analyse de la tenue d’une structure présentant un gradient de contrainte. A?n d’améliorer les prévisions des simulations, les effets de la rupture progressive ont été pris en compte dans les formulations. Pour s’affranchir de la localisation numérique de l’endommagement, une approche originale de régularisation couplant modélisation non locale de l’endommagement et taux d’endommagement limité a été développée. Les confrontations essai/calcul ont mis en évidence l’apport d’une modélisation plus ?ne des mécanismes d’endommagement et de rupture sur l’étude de la tenue de la structure. Compte tenu des nombreuses sources d’incertitudes, quelle confiance accorder à la simulation ? Pour répondre à cette question, l’effet des incertitudes sur des quantités d’intérêts (contrainte à rupture) a été évalué. Par ailleurs, une analyse de sensibilité (décomposition de variance) a été entreprise pour l’étude de faisabilité d’une démarche de capitalisation. Dans l’optique d’une démarche d’analyse de la tolérance aux défauts, l’efficacité de notre approche à traiter diverses singularités (taille, forme) est démontrée. En?n, les limites de la modélisation macroscopique sont discutées. / Due to their high specific properties, the use of woven composite materials has become an important commercial issue in the aeronautical applications. However, the lack of confidence in classic simulation tools used for design and conception of new structures leads to huge experimental campaigns. The increase of simulations and so the decrease of certification costs requires tools development allowing a more accurate design of woven composite structures with polymer (PMC) or ceramic matrix (CMC). This present thesis is focused on that point. The current formulations are extensions of the damage approach developed at Onera to describe matrix damage. Particularly, the nonlinearity due to viscosity for PMC is taken into account. Various structural tests on generic parts has been simulated and compared to experimental results in order to evaluate the efficiency of the models. The simulations are in good agreement with the experiments except for structure with high stress gradient. In order to improve the simulations accuracy, the effect of progressive failures are introduced. To avoid the numerical problems such as damage localization or mesh sensitivity associated with the softening behavior, an original method coupling delay effect and non local approach is proposed. A good agreement between experimental and finite element calcultion results was shown. Given many uncertainties, how much can the simulation be trusted ? In order to answer this question, the influence of uncertainties on given quantities of interest (stress failure for example) has been evaluated. Moreover, a sensivity analysis has been performed for the study of an experiment capitalisation approach. In the prospect of a reliable damage tolerance analysis, the efficiency of our approach to deal with various singularities (size, form) is shown. The limits of a macroscopic modelling are ?nally discussed.

Analyse de la formabilité de renforts composites à base de fibres naturelles / Forming analysis of composite reinforcements using natural fibers

Tephany, Christophe 05 December 2014 (has links)
Cette thèse s’intéresse à la déformabilité des renforts à bases de fibres de lin lors de leur mise en forme, au cours du procédé RTM (Resin Tranfer Molding), notamment lorsque les formes considérées sont complexes. La compréhension des défauts et mécanismes de déformations de ces renforts est alors nécessaire. S’appuyant sur un banc d’essai d’emboutissage spécifique, une caractérisation globale (défauts de mise en forme) et locale (déformations des mèches par méthode optique) des préformes a été réalisée, pour différents paramètres procédés (pressions serre-flan et orientation du renfort) et matériaux (architecture). De cette étude, un défaut spécifique lors de la mise en forme a été mis en évidence : le bouclage, sous la forme de flambement hors plan des mèches. Afin de contribuer à sa compréhension, peu décrite dans la littérature, un banc de caractérisation, indépendamment du procédé, a été conçu pour reproduire le phénomène dans le plan et identifier les différents mécanismes à l’origine de ce défaut. Une méthode interférométrique pour quantifier ce phénomène est proposée et une étude paramétrique est réalisée (tensions appliquées, angle de courbure, orientation, architecture du renfort). Au sein du renfort, le comportement des mèches présente de fortes non-linéarités en tension. Un modèle macroscopique par éléments finis est proposé afin de mettre en avant l’importance de ces non-linéarités sur les résultats numérique issus de l’opération de formage. Une étude de sensibilité sous différentes conditions procédés de ces non-linéarités est également apportée. / This study concerns the manufacturing process of composite material from woven flax reinforcement and specifically the preforming stage of the RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) process, with complex geometries. During the process several deformation modes take place and several defects may appear and it is therefore important to understand the mechanisms controlling their appearance. A specific sheet forming bench has been used to characterise the formed shapes at the macroscopic scale (global defects) as well as at the mesoscopic scale (tow strains). Various process parameters (blank holder pressures and reinforcement orientation) and the local tensile strains were measured using an optical method. From the observed defects, the tow buckling, out of plane bending of tows, was particularly investigated as this one is not very much described in the litterature. An experimental setup independent of the forming process was designed to specifically study this defect and to quantify the key parameters controlling its appearance. An interferometric method was proposed to measure the size of the buckles with accuracy and a parametric study (applied tensions, bending angles, orientation and architecture of the reinforcement) has been completed. Within the reinforcement, the tensile behaviour of tows presents strong non-linearities. A finite elements model at the macroscopic scale is proposed to highlight the impact of these non-linearities on the forming modeling results. A sensitivity study under several process conditions has been realized.

Rôle des paramètres matériaux et structuraux dans l’homogénéisation numérique des composites C/C. Cas des sollicitations tribologiques de freinage / Role of parameters materials and structural in the numerical homogenization of C/C composites. Case of tribological soli citations of braking

Mbodj, Coumba 15 December 2011 (has links)
Afin de comprendre les mécanismes d’usure et de frottement des composites carbone/carbone (C/C) utilisés en freinage aéronautique, un modèle numérique est utilisé pour dissocier les effets mécaniques des effets physico-chimiques et thermiques. Le modèle repose sur l’utilisation d’une approche par éléments finis et de techniques d’homogénéisation appliquées à un volume élémentaire représentatif (VER) du matériau à l’échelle mésoscopique frottant sur une surface rigide ou déformable. A cette échelle, le matériau est décrit par une matrice en carbone et des paquets de fibres de carbone appelés torons, perpendiculaires à la surface frottante. Pour assurer la représentativité de la structure du matériau, plusieurs modèles hétérogènes sont étudiés. Les résultats sont comparés à ceux obtenus avec le modèle homogène équivalent qui découle de l’homogénéisation. L’influence des conditions de contact (la rigidité), ainsi que l’influence de la distribution des torons proches de la surface frottante sur les régimes de vibrations des différents modèles sont mises en évidence. L’extension du modèle numérique à un contact entre deux composites a mis en évidence une forte augmentation des contraintes maximales localisées principales dans les torons présents à la surface frottante. Ces fortes localisations de contraintes peuvent avoir pour conséquence l’endommagement des torons ce qui induit la dégradation de la surface frottante jusqu’aux détachements de particules. / To understand the mechanisms of wear and friction of carbon 1 carbon composites (C/C} used in aeronautical braking, a numerical model is used to separate the mechanical effects of the physico-chemical and thermal effects. The model is based on the use of an approach by finite elements (FE} and techniques of homogenization applied to a representative elementary volume (RVE} of the material in the mesoscopic scale rubbing on a rigid or deformable surface. In this scale, the material is described by a matrix in carbon and packages of carbon fiber called strands, perpendicular on the contact surface. To insure the representativeness of the structure of the material, several heterogeneous models are studied. The results are compared with those obtained with the equivalent homogeneous model which ensues from the homogenization. The influence of the conditions of contact (the rigidity), as well as the influence of the distribution of strands at the contact surface on the regimes of vibrations of the various models are revealing. The extension of the numerical model in a contact between two composites underline a strong increase of maximal constraints mainly localized in the strands present on the contact surface. These strong localizations of constraints can have for consequence the damage of strands what leads the degradation of the contact surface until the detachments of particles.

Etude des composants passifs pour l'électronique de puissance à "haute température" : application au filtre CEM d'entrée / Passive components for high temperature power electronics : application to the EMI input filter

Robutel, Rémi 17 November 2011 (has links)
Les travaux présentés dans ce manuscrit sont dédiés à l'étude des composants passifs pour l'électronique de puissance à haute température. Des condensateurs et des matériaux magnétiques sont sélectionnés et caractérisés jusqu'à environ 250°C. Les caractéristiques électriques et électromagnétiques montrent, pour certains de ces composants et matériaux, des dépendances significatives en fonction de la température, mais également des non-linéarités et des phénomènes d'hystérésis. Les caractérisations sont ensuite exploitées pour la conception d'un filtre CEM d'entrée d'un onduleur de tension de 2kW. Une démarche et des considérations liées au dimensionnement d'un filtre sont détaillées. Un démonstrateur de filtre CEM est testé en charge et à haute température (200°C). Les résultats montrent une dépendance relativement faible des perturbations conduites entre 150kHz et 30MHz en fonction de la température (environ +6dBµA entre 25°C et 200°C selon la norme DO-160F). Le fonctionnement à haute température de composants passifs au sein d'un filtre CEM pour l'électronique de puissance a été démontré. En complément du filtre à composant discret et pour répondre aux besoins d'atténuation à haute fréquence qui seront accrus pour les convertisseurs à base de semi-conducteurs à grand gap (SiC et GaN) qui commutent plus rapidement que des interrupteurs de type IGBT en Si, nous avons proposé l'intégration de condensateurs de mode commun au sein d'un module de puissance. Les résultats simulés et expérimentaux ont montré une réduction des perturbations conduites grâce à l'intégration de ces condensateurs. Cette solution, compatible avec un fonctionnement à haute température, est positionnée comme une solution alternative à un filtre d'entrée complexe (multi-niveaux) et s'inscrit dans la tendance actuelle des IPEM (Intelligent/Integrated Power Electronics Module) qui recherche l'intégration de fonctions dans le module de puissance. L'ensemble de ces travaux souligne par ailleurs l'importance du packaging pour l'électronique de puissance à haute température. / The study, which is described in this dissertation, is dedicated to passive components in order to be integrated into high temperature power electronic converters. Capacitors and magnetic materials are selected and characterized up to 250°C. Electrical and electromagnetic characteristics are measured. Some components show a significant temperature deviation, but also a non-linear behavior with a hysteresis phenomenon. Based on these characteristics, a high temperature EMI filter for a 2kW voltage inverter is designed. The design procedure and some practical considerations are discussed. Then, the experimental results from the prototype at 200°C under full load conditions are given. The variation of the conducted emissions, from 150kHz and 30MHz, with the temperature is low (about +6dBµA between 25°C and 200°C into a DO-160F setup). The feasibility of a working EMI filter for high temperature power electronics is demonstrated. To meet the high frequency EMI requirements, with wide-band gap semi-conductors devices which are faster than Si IGBT, a solution based on integrated common mode capacitors into the power module is proposed. With this solution, operation at high temperature is also doable. Experimental results show a reduction of the conducted emissions thanks to these integrated capacitors. We consider this solution as an alternative against an increased complexity of the EMI input filter. It follows the present trends toward the integration of functions into a power module, close to the power switches. Moreover, packaging issues are highlighted and remains as a major limitation for high temperature power electronics.
