Features tested

Thermal expansion defined by a predefined temperature field is tested for the following material models: isotropic elasticity, orthotropic elasticity, anisotropic elasticity, lamina, hyperelasticity with polynomial and Ogden forms, hyperelasticity with Arruda-Boyce and Van der Waals forms, hyperfoam, Mises plasticity, Drucker-Prager plasticity, Hill's potential plasticity, crushable foam plasticity with volumetric hardening, crushable foam plasticity with isotropic hardening, ductile failure plasticity, rate-dependent Hill's potential plasticity, rate-dependent Mises plasticity, Drucker-Prager/Cap plasticity, porous metal plasticity, visco-hyperelasticity with polynomial and Ogden forms, visco-hyperelasticity with Arruda-Boyce and Van der Waals forms, and visco-hyperfoam.

Problem description

The verification tests consist of a set of single-element tests that include a combination of all the available elements with all the available materials. All elements are loaded by ramping up the temperature from an initial value of 0° to a final value of 100°. The undeformed meshes are shown in Figure 1 for the elasticity models, Figure 2 for the inelasticity models, and Figure 3 for the viscoelasticity models. Material properties are listed in Table 1 for the elastic materials and in Table 2 for the inelastic materials. The thermal expansion coefficient for all materials is 0.00005.

The degrees of freedom in the vertical direction are constrained for all the nodes, and deformation is allowed only in the horizontal direction. Nodes associated with elements C3D8R and C3D10M are constrained in the out-of-plane direction, which causes a plane strain condition to apply for these elements.

Results and discussion

The time history plots for isotropic elasticity, Mises plasticity, and viscoelasticity for all of the elements are shown in Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6, respectively, except for pipe elements, whose results are consistent with beam elements.
