Cette thèse se focalise sur le développement d’un élément continu de coque axisymétrique raidie de type Reissner/Mindlin. La démarche consiste à utiliser les éléments de coques axisymétriques développés aux LISMMA pour lesquels une méthode de prise en compte de chargements repartis a été définie. L'introduction des raidisseurs longitudinaux est menée à partir d'éléments de poutres droites couplés à la coque. L'introduction des raidisseurs circonférentiels nécessite quant à elle le développement d'éléments de poutres circulaires selon une formulation analogue à celle des coques axisymétriques. Cette formulation appelée méthode des éléments continus est basée,entre autre, sur le développement en série de Fourier des champs inconnus selon la dimension circonférentielle et sur la détermination de la matrice de rigidité dynamique de la structure étudiée.Deux configurations de couplage ont été envisagées: Le couplage de coques axisymétriques avec des éléments d'anneaux circulaires de Timoshenko agissant comme raidisseurs circonférentiels puis avec des poutres droites de Timoshenko agissant comme raidisseurs longitudinaux. Des analyses harmoniques sont ensuite menées de manière à valider les formulations présentées par comparaison avec les résultats issus de modélisations éléments finis. / This thesis focuses on the development of a continuous stiffened axisymmetric shell element of type Reissner/Mindlin. The approach consist in using the axisymmetric shell element developed in LISMMA for which distributed loads were applied on it.The introduction of longitudinal stiffeners is achieved by using a straight beam element coupled to the shell. The introduction of circumferential stiffeners requires the development of circular beam element according to a formulation similar to that used for the axisymmetric shell.In fact, this continuous element method is based on the development of the unknown fields on the Fourier series according to the circumferential dimensions and on the determination of the dynamic stiffness matrix of the studied structure.Two coupling configuration were considered: First of all the coupling of axisymmetric shell with circular Timoshenko beam element acting as circumferential stiffeners, then with straight Timoshenko beam element acting as longitudinal stiffener. Harmonic analyzes are conducted in order to validate the formulations presented in comparison with the results obtained from finite element model.

La thèse porte sur la réponse d'une plaque couplée à un liquide et soumise au champ de pression créé par une détonation aérienne. Celle-ci correspond au mode d'explosion le plus violent et se caractérise par la propagation d'une onde de choc qui génère sur la plaque un champ de pression mobile dont l'intensité et la vitesse de propagation sont élevées. L'objectif est d'étudier la réponse dynamique du système couplé pendant la durée de propagation de l'onde sur la plaque. Après avoir présenté le chargement de détonation, la mise en équation du problème est exposée. Celle-ci est adaptée au contexte de dynamique rapide imposé par la sollicitation extérieure. La flexion de la plaque est étudiée selon la théorie de Mindlin Reissner et prend en compte les non linéarités géométriques. Les non linéarités matérielles sont décrites par la loi de comportement élastoplastique de Prandtl-Reuss avec écrouissage isotrope. La dynamique du fluide est décrite par les équations d'Euler linéarisées. L'étude analytique permet d'obtenir des solutions au problème d'une bande infinie, reposant sur un domaine liquide non borné, soumise à un chargement mobile stationnaire. Les solutions stationnaires décrivent la réponse du système couplé au voisinage du front de chargement. La résolution numérique du problème réel d'une plaque couplée est obtenue à partir d'un schéma aux différences finies d'ordre 2 en temps et en espace. L'intégration temporelle des équations est obtenue par un schéma explicite. L'étude expérimentale présente le banc d'essai et des exemples de réponse de plaques en contact avec de l'eau, soumises à des détonations. Ces réponses sont comparées aux solutions numériques.

Cette thèse est consacrée au développement de méthodes numériques pour la simulation de plaques et coques fissurées. Pour ce problème, les méthodes classiques sont basées sur la Méthode des Elements Finis (MEF). En raison de la présence d'une singularité en fond de fissure, la MEF souffre de plusieurs défauts. Son taux de convergence n'est pas optimal. De plus, en cas de propagation de la fissure, le domaine doit être remaillé. Une nouvelle méthode d'éléments finis, introduite en 1999 et baptisée XFEM, permet de s'affranchir de ces inconvénients. Dans cette méthode, la base éléments finis est enrichie par des fonctions de forme spécifiques qui représentent la séparation du matériau et la singularité de fond de fissure. Ainsi, domaine et fissure sont indépendants et le taux de convergence est optimal. Dans cette thèse, on développe deux formulations XFEM adaptées à un modèle de plaques minces. Ces méthodes ont pu être implémentées dans la bibliothèque d'éléments finis Getfem++, et testées sur des exemples où la solution exacte est connue. L'étude d'erreur montre que la méthode XFEM possède un taux de convergence optimal, alors que la MEF montre une convergence plus lente. L'autre contribution de cette thèse concerne le calcul de Facteurs d'Intensité de Contraintes (FIC) : ces grandeurs indiquent le risque de propagation de la fissure. Nous proposons deux méthodes de calcul originales, basées sur nos formulations XFEM. La première méthode utilise l'intégrale-J, et la deuxième fournit une estimation directe, sans post-traitement.

The Mindlin-Reissner plate model is widely used for the elastic deformation simulation of moderately thick plates. Shear locking occurs in the case of thin plates, which means slow convergence with respect to the mesh size. The Kirchhoff plate model does not show locking effects, but is valid only for thin plates. One would like to have a method suitable for both thick and thin plates. Several approaches are known to deal with the shear locking in the Mindlin-Reissner plate model. In addition to the well-known MITC elements and other approaches based on a mixed formulation, hierarchical methods have been developed in the recent years. These are based on the Kirchhoff model and add terms to account for shear deformations. We present some of these methods and develop a new hierarchic plate formulation. This new model can be discretised by a combination of C0 and C1 finite elements. Numerical tests show that the new formulation is locking-free and numerically efficient. We also give an extension of the model to a hierarchical Naghdi shell based on a Koiter shell formulation with unknowns in Cartesian coordinates.

[pt] Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal estudar o comportamento de flambagem lateral de vigas através de modelos de elementos finitos baseados nas teorias de placas de Kirchhoff e de Mindlin–Reissner. Esses modelos foram combinados com efeitos de membrana, possibilitando a análise de cascas. Foi desenvolvido um código MATLAB para analisar cargas críticas estáticas e dinâmicas, modos de flambagem, frequências e modos de vibração de placas finas e espessas sujeitas a cargas conservativas e cargas não conservativas (também chamadas de seguidoras ou circulatórias). O programa ANSYS foi usado para validação e comparação. Para o cálculo das frequências naturais foram usadas as matrizes de massa e a matriz de rigidez. Para o cálculo da carga crítica estática com carga conservativa, implementa-se a matriz geométrica. Quando há carregamento seguidor não conservativo, é necessário adicionar uma matriz de correção de cargas que é uma matriz assimétrica, achando assim a carga crítica dinâmica, também denominada de flutter. Diferentes condições de contorno e diferentes carregamentos são aplicados em vigas e analisados os casos de flambagem lateral. Valores teóricos encontrados na literatura são comparados com os valores achados usando o método de elementos finitos. A instabilidade lateral de vigas esbeltas tem grande interesse prático, pois em alguns casos pode ocorrer o esgotamento da resistência da peça antes mesmo que seja atingido o estado limite último de flexão. Por isso, o tema flambagem lateral é mencionado em diversas normas nacionais e internacionais, tendo sido feitas algumas comparações com os resultados do programa implementado neste trabalho. / [en] The main objective of this paper is to present results on the lateral buckling of beams using finite elements based on Kirchhoff and Mindlin-Reissner Plate theories, merged with membrane elements in order to include the analysis of shells. A MATLAB code was developed to calculate static and dynamic critical loads, buckling modes, frequencies, and vibration modes of thin and thick plates subjected to conservative and non-conservative (also called follower or circulatory) loads. Mass and stiffness matrices are employed to determine natural frequencies. In the case of conservative loads, static critical loads are calculated by adding a so-called geometric matrix. However, in case of displacement-dependent applied forces, it is necessary to implement a matrix that will correct the loads, designated as load matrix. In the case of conservative forces, the load matrix is symmetric, and in the case of non-conservative forces, it is non-symmetric. In the latter case, the critical load usually will correspond to dynamic behavior designated as flutter. Different boundary conditions and loads are considered and several cases of lateral buckling are investigated. Theoretical values when found in the literature are compared with values determined by Finite Element Method (FEM). The lateral instability of slender beams is very important in practice, because in some situations it may occur prior to ultimate plastic limit state in bending. Therefore, lateral buckling is mentioned in a wide variety of national and international rules, and some comparisons with the results of the computer code developed herein are presented.

Este trabalho fornece uma contribuição à análise estrutural não-linear de pavimentos de edifícios de concreto armado com o emprego do Método dos Elementos Finitos. A deformação por esforço cortante é considerada, portanto as teorias de Timoshenko e de Reissner-Mindlin são empregadas nas formulações dos elementos de barra e de placa, respectivamente. As posições dos elementos de barra e de placa são independentes e, portanto, podem ser definidas em diferentes planos. Em conseqüência do exposto, o efeito de membrana deve ser necessariamente considerado na modelagem do pavimento. Para completar o modelo mecânico, as não-linearidades físicas descrevem o comportamento do concreto e do aço. A deterioração do concreto no cisalhamento é também considerada através de um modelo simplificado que é proposto para a modelagem do cisalhamento em condições de serviço. / This work gives a contribution to the non-linear structural analysis of reinforced concrete buildings floors using the Finite Element Method. The shear strain components are taken into account by adopting the Timoshenko\'s beam theory together with and the Reissner-Mindlin\'s theory for plate bending. Bar and plate element position are independent and therefore can be defined at different planes. As several level are considered when defining the structure membrane effects are necessary considered. In order to complete the mechanical model, physical non-linearities are also assumed to describe concrete and steel behaviours. The deterioration of the concrete material in shear is also taken account. For this purpose, a simplified model is adopted to compute approximately the damaged shear component in the steel direction.

A tese investiga as possíveis aproximações entre arquitetura e viagens de formação a partir das experiências de deslocamentos de dois arquitetos de São Paulo pelos Estados Unidos, entre 1943 e 1947. Formados respectivamente pelas escolas de engenharia do Mackenzie e da USP na década anterior, Henrique Mindlin (1911-1971) e João Vilanova Artigas (1915-85) empreenderam suas viagens aos EUA em anos decisivos de modelagem de sua atitude e liderança no campo profissional, de modernização do campo arquitetônico no Brasil, bem como de ampliação dos mecanismos de cooperação entre os dois países. Propõe-se entender estas viagens tanto em seus aspectos comuns, como um expediente caro à própria história da arquitetura, quanto nas particularidades de cada uma delas, dos arquitetos que as empreenderam, dos itinerários que desenvolveram e no momento mesmo em que o fizeram. / The thesis investigates the possible approximations between architecture and training trips based on the experiences of two US architects traveling from São Paulo between 1943 and 1947. They were graduated respectively from Mackenzie and USP engineering schools in the previous decade, Henrique Mindlin (1911-1971) and João Vilanova Artigas (1915-85) undertook their travels to the United States in decisive years modeling their attitude and leadership in the professional field of modernizing the architectural field in Brazil, as well as expanding cooperation mechanisms between The two countries. It is proposed to understand these journeys both in their common aspects, as a costly expedient for the history of architecture itself, as well as the particularities of each one of them, the architects who carried them out, the itineraries they developed and the moment they did so.

Le travail de thèse porte sur de nouveaux compléments et améliorations pour la théorie de la péridynamique concernant la modélisation numérique de structures minces telles que les poutres et les plaques, les composites isotropes et multicouches soumis à un chargement dynamique. Nos développements ont principalement porté sur l'exploration des possibilités offertes par la méthode péridynamique, largement appliquée dans divers domaines de l'ingénierie où des discontinuités fortes ou faibles peuvent se produire, telles que des fissures. La procédure de généralisation de la méthode Peridynamics pour la modélisation des structures de poutres de Timoshenko et des structures de plaques de Reissner-Mindlin avec une large plage de rapport épaisseur sur longueur allant de structures épaisses à très minces est indiquée. Et un impact avec une faible vitesse simplifié basé sur le modèle péridynamique développé pour la poutre de Timoshenko et la plaque de Reissner-Mindlin a été proposé en utilisant une procédure de contact spécifique pour l'estimation « naturelle » de la charge d'impact. L’originalité de la méthode actuelle réside dans l’introduction avec deux techniques permettant de réduire le problème de blocage par cisaillement qui se pose dans les structures à poutres et à plaques minces, à savoir la méthode d’intégration réduite (ou sélective) et la formulation mixte. Le modèle péridynamique résultant pour les structures de poutre de Timoshenko et les structures de plaque de Reissner-Mindlin est efficace et ne souffre d'aucun phénomène de verrouillage par cisaillement. En outre, la procédure de généralisation de la méthode péridynamique pour la modélisation de structures composites minces renforcées par des fibres est introduite. L’approche péridynamique pour la modélisation d’une couche est d’abord validée en quasi-statique, ce qui inclut des problèmes de prévision de la propagation de fissures soumis à des conditions de chargement mécaniques. La méthode péridynamique a ensuite été étendue à l’analyse de structures composites minces renforcées par des fibres utilisant la théorie fondamentale d’une couche. Enfin, plusieurs applications impliquant des structures composites minces renforcées par des fibres et des résultats numériques ont été validées par comparaison à la solution FEM obtenue à l'aide d'un logiciel commercial ou à des solutions de référence de la littérature. Dans toutes les applications, Péridynamics montre que les résultats correspondent parfaitement aux solutions de référence, ce qui prouve son potentiel d’efficacité, en particulier pour la simulation de chemins de fissures dans les structures isotropes et composites. / This thesis introduces some new complements and improvments for the Bond-Based Peridynamics theory concerning the numerical modeling of thin structures such as beams and plates, isotropic and multilayer composites subjected to dynamic loading. Our developments have been focused mainly on exploring the possibilities offered by the Peridynamic method, which has been widely applied in various engineering domains where strong or weak discontinuities may occur such as cracks or heterogeneous media. The generalization procedure of the Peridynamics method for the modeling of Timoshenko beam structures and Reissner-Mindlin plate structures respectively with a wide range of thickness to length ratio starting from thick structures to very thin structures is given. And A simplified low velocity impact based on the developed Peridynamic model for Timoshenko beam and ReissnerMindlin plate has been proposed by using a specific contact procedure for the estimation of the impact load. The originality of the present method was the introduction for the first time of two techniques for the alleviation of the shear locking problem which arises in thin beam and plate structures, namely the reduced (or selective) integration method and mixed formulation. The resulting Peridynamic model for Timoshenko beam structures and Reissner-Mindlin plate structures is efficient and does not suffer from any shear locking phenomenon. Besides, the generalization procedure of Peridynamic method for the modeling of fiber-reinforced thin composite structures is introduced. The Peridynamic approach for the modeling of a lamina is firstly validated in the quasi-statics including a crack propagation prediction problems subjected to mechanical loading conditions and then the Peridynamic method was further extended to analyze fiber-reinforced thin composite structures using the fundamental lamina theory. Finally, several applications involving fiber-reinforced thin composite structures and numerical results were validated by comparison to the FEM solution obtained using commercial software or to reference solutions from the literature. In all applications, the Peridynamics shows that results are matching perfectly the reference solutions, which proves its efficiency potentiality especially for crack paths simulation in isotropic and composite structures.
