Description du projet

Une plaque mince est entièrement fixée à l'extrémité gauche et soumise à une pression uniforme. Small deformations are considered and the self-weight is neglected in this example. The problem is described by the following set of parameters. Determine the maximum deflection uz,max.

Matériau Elastic-Plastic Module d’élasticité E 210000.000 MPa
coefficient de Poisson ν 0.000
Module de cisaillement G 105000.000 MPa
Limite d’élasticité fy 40,000 MPa
Géométrie Plate Périmètre L 1.000 m
Largeur w 0.050 m
Épaisseur t 0.005 m
Load Uniform Pressure p 2.750 kPa

Analytical Solution

The quantities of the load are discussed at first. The moment Me when the first yield is occurred and the ultimate moment Mp when the structure becomes plastic hinge are calculated as follows:

The plate is brought into the elastic-plastic state by the pressure p. The bending stress is defined according to the following formula:

where κ is the curvature. The elastic-plastic zone length is described by the parameter xp. The bending stress quantity on the surface is equal to the plastic strength fy at the point xp, see the following schema.

The elastic-plastic moment Mep (internal force) has to equal to the bending moment M (external force). The curvature κp in the elastic-plastic zone results from this equality.

Remarque : The results deviation is also caused by the difference between the analytical and numerically calculated torsional constant.
