Voluminal Paving Stone Subjected to Harmonic Pressure

Overview

The aim of this test case is to validate the following functions:

• Harmonic analysis
• Harmonic pressure

The simulation results of SimScale were compared to the numerical results in [SDLV124]. The mesh used in case (A) was obtained from Code_Aster.

Simulation Setup

Material:

• isotropic: E = 180 GPa, ν
  $\nu$

   

  = 0.3, ρ

  $\rho$

   

  = 7800 kg/m³

• Rayleigh damping: αk
  ${\alpha }_k$

   

  = 3E-5 s, βm

  ${\beta }_m$

   

  = 1E-3 s⁻¹

Constraints:

• Faces ABA’B’, BCB’C’, CDC’D’ and ADA’D’ are fixed

Loads:

• Pressure of 0,5 MPa on Face ABCD

Results

Comparison of displacements at point E (0.1575, 0.125, 0) obtained with SimScale with the results presented in [SDLV124]. The Error was calculated with respect to [SDLV124_N].
