SSNP305 - Elément of bar in compression -
Appearance of a negative pivot
Summary:
This test of quasi-static mechanics linear 2D consists in charging an element of bar in compression. Of one
side, the element is fixed according to the degrees of translation on a node. Other side, the element is fixed according to
the second degree of translation on a node in order to model the slip along a line. With some
moment the stiffness becomes negative (= negative slope). This test is drawn from guide NAFEMS (analytical solution).
The structure will be charged by using a control by displacement.
The plate is modelled by 12 plane elements (MECPQU4). The material has a linear behavior and one
takes into account nonthe geometrical linearities. One uses the key word factor “COMP_ELAS” option “GREEN”.

In order to respect the best possible behavior of bar, one prolongs the length of the bar and
one imposes on this surplus of matter a Young modulus of 2e7 MPa.
The other meshs are affected face value of 200000 MPa.
