Full textThe permeability of rocks is widely affected by the presence of fractures as it establishes prevailing paths for the fluid flow. Natural cracks are then a critical factor for a reservoir productiveness. For low permeability rocks, stimulation techniques such as hydrofracturing have been experienced to enhance the permeability, so that the reservoir becomes profitable. In the opposite, when it comes to geological storage, the presence of cracks constitutes a major issue since it encourages the leak and migration of the material spread in the rock. In the case of CO2 storage, the scenario of leakage across the reservoir seal through cracks or revived faults is a matter of great concern. And as for nuclear waste storage, the fluid circulation in a fracture network around the storage cavity can obviously lead to the migration of toxic materials. It is then crucial to predict the effects of the presence of cracks in a reservoir. The main purpose of this work is the design of a numerical tool to simulate a crack network and its evolution under hydromechanical loading. To achieve this goal we chose the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) for its convenience, and a cohesive zone model to handle the crack tip area. The XFEM is a meshfree method that allows us to introduce cracks in the model without necessarily remeshing in case of crack propagation. The fluid flow in the crack as well as the exchanges between the porous rock and the crack are accounted for through an hydro-mechanical coupling. The model is validated with an analytical asymptotic solution for the propagation of a plane hydraulic fracture in a poroelastic media, in 2D as well as in 3D. Then we study the propagation of hydraulic fractures on non predefined paths. The cracks are initially introduced as large potential crack surfaces so that the cohesive law will naturally separate adherent and debonding zones. The potential crack surfaces are then updated based on a directional criterion appealing to cohesive integrals only. Several examples of crack reorientation and competition between nearby cracks are presented. Finally, we extend our model to account for the presence of fracture junctions

Full textThe outbreak of visible cracks can be triggered at several stages in the life of a cathode block in an electrolysis cell. Various matters can prompt such an upsurge. Under electrical pre-heating, for example, the random spatial distribution of thermal gradients can lead to the rise of one or more cracks. The main objective of this work is to model and simulate the crack propagation in a multi-physical, thermo-electro-mechanical, context. The approach is based on a monolithic numerical development philosophy of a strongly nonlinear coupling, with the consideration of thermoelectric exchanges through the crack lips using the extended finite element method (XFEM). This project was sketched essentially on three sub-projects. Firstly, a new model of crack propagation in a thermomechanical fashion over a cracked domain has been developed. A geometrical enrichment strategy by XFEM has been successfully performed to model crack growth as well as to achieve the expected optimal convergence rate in physical responses and the computation of stress intensity factors. Three benchmarks were examined and validated from existing results in the literature. Then, anew example of the propagation of multiple cracks and multiple defects was designed. The comparison of the results obtained shows a good agreement with the reported works as well as the robustness and the accuracy of the numerical development. Secondly, an original approach to the modeling of full thermoelectric coupling, in the presence of a strong static material discontinuity and taking into account the thermal and electrical exchanges through its lips, has been elaborated. First, a model has been established and validated in the case of a capacitive crack, where the properties of the dielectric, between the inter-crack-lips, play a determining role for the ascertainment of its exchange intensity. Similarly, a model has been settled for the choice of a gaseous medium filling the gap between the two rims, ensuring the resistive heat exchange aspect. The thermoelectric model has been implemented via XFEM by performing the enhanced version and taking into account the treatment of numerical noise due to the blending elements. Three case studies were intended, the first one was employed to validate the numerical implementation of the stated model via a developed patch test. Good convergence and accuracy of numerical outcomes have been noted. The second focused on the case of a curved crack, less considered in the literature, which can be encountered in many applications, and represents a significant numerical challenge. The third is an elaborate study on the cathode. The analysis of the impact of cracks on energy efficiency was also raised for the case of multiple cracks. Thirdly, numerical originality of crack propagation in the context of the full thermo-electro-mechanical (TEM) coupling combined with thermal and electrical exchanges between the crack lips has been displayed. The area formed by the displacement of the two crack bank sis carried out in the physical expressions of the heat and electrical coefficients. The quantification of this gap is rendered by the resulting displacement jump across the lips. This aspect makes the mechanical problem nonlinear as well through exchanges, and therefore the global TEM system is strongly nonlinear. An original integration strategy, from a technical point of view, has been realized. It is based on a technique of barycentric sub-triangulation through a ’spider-web’ for the surface elements cut by the crack. Another procedure based on integration by crack ’arms’ reserved for heat and electrical exchanges elements. Two case studies have been examined. The first one is an example of the mixed-mode growth of a sloped crack in TEM context with thermal and electrical exchanges as a function of the displacement jump. The second was held for an industrial case of an electrolysis cell in operation and TEM circumstances. The impact of the presence of crack on several physical responses is analyzed. As an outcome, due to the thermoelectric expansion of the cathode block, the crack is expected to join the upper surface and lead to the end of the cathode’s life.

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to develop a high-order accurate method to solve the two-phase incompressible laminar flowproblem. Three main tasks are to be achieved. First, the method has to be energy-stable meaning that the divergence-free condition of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is satisfied everywhere in the computational domain. Second, the local discontinuities arising in the two-phase flow field have to be captured accurately. Third, the material interface betweenthe two fluids has to be represented accurately in each time step. In this work, a novel Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method is used for the spatial discretization. This hybrid method that belongs to the family of DG-FEM methods satisfies the divergence-free condition by introducing velocity and pressure trace variables of the same order plus a tailoredvelocity and pressure approximation inside the elements. Furthermore, the concepts of eXtended FEM (X-FEM) are used toapproximate discontinuities in the flow field by enriching the standard FEM approximation in elements where two fluids exist. Finally, the moving material interface between the twofluids is captured using the Level-Set method

Full textIn shipbuilding industry, classical methods to analyze the behavior of structures under extreme loadings are very dependent on the size of the mesh. Moreover, propagation over long lengths with volumetric models requires huge processing power, often inaccessible within this framework. In order to manage these issues and due to the geometry to be considered, a coupling between shell finite element and the extended finite element method (X-FEM) using an adapted propagation criterion is proposed. The developments are made in the fast explicit dynamic finite element code EUROPLEXUS, CEA Saclay. For shell structures involving significant thickness such as submarines, Mindlin-Reissner theory is needed to enable shear strain. Therefore, locking-free element are used to avoid the numerical issue of shear-locking that appears when the shell becomes too thin. The fracture of Mindlin-Reissner plates based on the X-FEM discrete approximation framework is studied by Dolbow and Belytschko with the MITC4. A four node shell element using the same formulation is here only enriched with a step function along the crack line to take into consideration the discontinuity of the displacement field across the crack. The calculation remains accurate without the asymptotic enrichment functions near the crack-tip, as long as the mesh is refined near the crack tip. The numerical integration issue for elements cut by the crack is solved by a partitioning strategy developed by Elguedj. Since the crack is contained in the shell for which the mid plane's position is entirely known, only one information left is needed to locate it. Therefore, a crack is represented by several line segments on the three-dimensional mesh. Only through thickness cracks are considered so far. As regards to the crack propagation, a local criteria proposed by Haboussa is used based on the calculation of mechanical equivalent quantities in the vicinity of the crack tip. The maximum of the equivalent stress tensor near the crack tip is used to decide if the crack propagates as well as its propagation direction, and the Kaninen equation gives the crack velocity

Full textThe initial problem treated in this thesis falls within the general framework of modeling deep tunnels. For this reason, the approach based on linear fracture mechanics was adopted. The study was based on the mixed criterion of Leguillon. Following This study, the mixed criterion was not insufficient but the way to approach the problem was. Where the transition to the consideration of the heterogeneity of the material component and the possibility of initing a crack under a compressive stress. A first approach was undertaken the study of periodic bilayer under the stress of vertical compression. The layer of the highest stiffness has appeared the seat of a transverse traction. Indeed the possibility to initiate a crack is quite likely always through the verification of the energy and the stress criteria. A second approach was to observe more closer the microstructure of the material; we have considered the problem of elliptic inclusion in an infinite matrix. By the method of complex variables and the technique of conformal mapping, we analyzed the stress field around the inclusion and were revealed the presence of a traction which depends strongly of the selected parameters. By the extended finite element method, we calculated the variation of the potential energy involved by creating a fracture. In a similar approach to the previous one, namely verification of the energy and the stress criteria, we concluded the possibility of initiating a crack. Keywords: linear fracture mechanics, mixed criterion of Leguillon, potential energy, energy release rate, extended finite element method, periodic bilayer, method of complex variables

Full textDes expériences de rupture dynamique ont donc été réalisées sur du Polyméthacrylate de méthyle (PMMA) durant lesquelles la mixité du chargement varie et des arrêts et redémarrages de fissures se produisent. Deux bancs d'essais différents ont été utilisé, le premier basé sur la technique des barres de Hopkinson (ou barres de Kolsky), le second mettant en jeu un vérin rapide. Le PMMA étant transparent, la position de la fissure au cours de l'essai a été acquise grâce à des caméras rapides mais aussi en utilisant un extensomètre optique (Zimmer), habituellement dédié à la mesure de déplacements macroscopiques d'un contraste noir/blanc. L'utilisation de cet extensomètre pour suivre la fissure au cours de l'essai a permis d'obtenir une localisation très précise de la pointe de la fissure en continu, permettant ainsi l'étude des phases transitoires de propagation. Afin d'étudier le même phénomène dans des matériaux opaques comme les aluminiums aéronautiques (Al 7075), des techniques de corrélation d'images numériques ont été employées en mouchetant les éprouvettes impactées. De nouveaux algorithmes ont été développés afin de traiter les images issues d'une caméra ultra-rapide (jusqu'à 400 000 images par seconde).
Plusieurs géométries ont été envisagées afin d'étudier différents cas de propagation dynamique : initiation en mode I pur, initiation en mode mixte, propagation, arrêt, redémarrage, interaction entre deux fissures, influence d'un trou sur le trajet d'une fissure, branchement dynamique de fissures. Ces expériences ont ensuite été reproduites numériquement afin de valider les algorithmes et les critères de rupture choisis.

Full textThis Ph.D. thesis was done in collaboration with "La Manufacture Française des Pneumatiques Michelin". It concerns the mathematical and numerical analysis of convergence and stability of mixed or hybrid formulation of constrained optimization problem with Lagrange multiplier method in the framework of the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM). First we try to prove the stability of the X-FEM discretization for incompressible elastostatic problem by ensured a LBB condition. The second axis, which present the main content of the thesis, is dedicated to the use of some stabilized Lagrange multiplier methods. The particularity of these stabilized methods is that the stability of the multiplier is provided by adding supplementary terms in the weak formulation. In this context, we study the Barbosa-Hughes stabilization technique applied to the frictionless unilateral contact problem with XFEM-cut-off. Then we present a new consistent method based on local projections for the stabilization of a Dirichlet condition in the framework of extended finite element method with a fictitious domain approach. Moreover we make comparative study between the local projection stabilization and the Barbosa-Hughes stabilization. Finally we use the local projection stabilization to approximate the two-dimensional linear elastostatics unilateral contact problem with Tresca frictional in the framework of the eXtended Finite Element Method X-FEM
Moumnassi, Mohammed. "La représentation implicite des volumes pour l'analyse par éléments finis avec XFEM et Level-sets." Thesis, Metz, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011METZ033S/document.
Full textThe Finite Element Method (FEM) is widely used for numerical simulations of physical problems formulated in terms of partial differential equations (PDE). A crucial step in the process of analysis by this method is the discretization of the geometry to construct a mesh representing the approximation space of the problem. However, high quality mesh that conforms to the curved boundaries and sharp features, whose depends on the numerical results, still requires a significant amount of human time in the global process of analysis. The aim of this work is to implement a new approach that allows performing simulations on an object whose boundaries do not conform to the mesh, while retaining the benefits of FEM. For this purpose, the implicit representation of the domain (Level set) and the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) are used. In the first step, the focus is to build objects by using Level sets independently of the spatial discretization (i.e. a simple mesh). Strategies have been developed to build implicit objects from the parametric representation (the most common in Computer Aided Design CAD), to preserve sharp features and correctly represent curved boundaries. In a second step, the focus lies on adapting XFEM to achieve a proper numerical integration and to preserve the stability of mixed formulations for managing Dirichlet constraints. The last part consists in verifying the accuracy and rate convergence in the case of implicit curved boundaries and of non-conforming objects to the mesh
Chagneau, Anthony. "Méthode de zoom structural étendue aux hétérogénéités non linéaires." Thesis, Montpellier, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019MONTS051.
Full textA multi-scale approach introduces a structural zoom method into a region of interest, called the patch, using only field projection operators. The different behaviours in the patch and in the overall structure are taken into account without using weight parameters between local and global energies such as the Arlequin method. Our initial problem is to digitally reliable the structural zoom method for the linear case, and more precisely to choose a high-performance solver on Krylov spaces, as well as effective preconditioning and ordering adapted to the system to be solved. Once the solver is chosen, this approach is mechanically validated in the mean of two tests, namely traction and shear. A parametric study of the patch is performed to obtain an acceptable solution. The next objective is to extend this approach to regions with heterogeneities of non-linear behaviour. The method has been reached out for elastoplastic behaviour. Initial hypothesis assumes the elastoplastic behaviour only inside the patch and an elastic behaviour of the overall structure as well as of the gluing area. Finally, this approach is validated with different tests including several faults and therefore several patches as well as different loading history

Full textThe modelling of the cryolite bath, used in the smelting of aluminum, offers multiple challenges, particularly the presence of discontinuities in the solution and a difference in density between the solid and liquid phases. To over come these challenges, several novel elements were developed in this thesis. First of all, the phase change problem, commonly named the Stefan problem, was solved in two dimensions using the extended finite element method. A specially designed Lagrange multiplier formulation, using an enriched Lagrange multiplier solution, was implemented to impose the melting temperature on the interface. The interface velocity is determined by the jump in the heat flux across the interface and was calculated using the Lagrange multiplier values. Secondly, convection was included by solving the Stokes equations in the liquid phase using the extended finite element method as well. Thirdly, the density change between solid and liquid phases, usually neglected in the literature, was taken into account by the addition of a non-zero velocity boundary condition at the solid-liquid interface to maintain mass conservation in the system. Benchmark analytical and numerical problems were solved to validated the various components of the model and the coupled system of equations. The solutions to the numerical problems were compared to the solutions obtained using Comsol’s moving mesh algorithm. Theses comparisons show that the extended finite element method correctly solves the phase change problem with non-constant densities.

Full textTo guarantee the high level of safety of industrial components under fatigue cycles it is essential to be able to predict the initiation and growth of cracks during their entire lifetime. However the numerical cost of a propagation simulation on engineer-sized problems with non-linear behavior may be prohibitive, with the classical techniques. Here, a new approach combining the eXtended Finite Element Method (X-FEM) and automatic Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) is presented taking advantage of both methods. The X-FEM, developed over the past two decades by a large community, have proven its efficiency to handle evolving discontinuities in a variety of fracture analysis. Since this method enables to describe the crack and its propagation independently of the mesh of the structure, a simple hierarchical mesh refinement procedure can be applied. Automatic adaptive re-meshing is a valuable method for elastic-plastic crack propagation analysis since it permits a locally fine mesh and then an accurate description of physical quantities in a limited area around the crack front. This is particularly important when local fracture criteria are concerned. Moreover local refinement saves computational effort, particularly when the propagation path is not a priori known. In the present work, it is shown that both methods combine with minimal effort: the kinematic continuity relations and the field transfer process, needed for history-dependent material, must include in a proper way the enrichment of the model. If this requirement is not fulfilled, numerical error may be introduced. Implementation of this combined X-FEM/AMR approach in the finit elements code Cast3M is presented in detail. In particular, an innovative field transfer strategy is proposed in 2D and 3D. Numerical applications of crack propagation in elastic-plastic media demonstrate accuracy, robustness and efficiency of the technique. Moreover, an experimental study has been conducted on a example propagation with notable impact of confined plasticity. This study provides experimental data to compare with the numerical results obtained with the developed method. This validates our modelization choices. It also is the opportunity to test the developed method robustness on a realistic case of utilization. This study showed the interest of the proposed modelization taking into account plasticity induced crack closure during the fatigue propagation

Full textThe main objective of this thesis is the development of a numerical tool, using the XFEM approach, for the simulation of transient nonlinear thermoelectrical problems in fractured media in two dimensions, taking into account thermal and electrical exchanges between the crack’s lips. Numerical simulations of crack propagation are of great interest for many industrial sectors (aluminum production, aerospace, nuclear, etc.). In addition, this is a numerically complex problem. The classical finite element method has important constraints of mesh refinement at the crack tip, remeshing during crack propagation and field projections, which has the effect of increasing the computation time and degrading the accuracy. On the other hand, the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM), has received a growing success for the treatment of the problems containing cracks in the last fifteen years. It allows using a mesh that does not conform to the geometry of the crack; this is possible by the enrichment of the finite element approximation. In this thesis, we are interested in extending application field of the XFEM method to the nonlinear thermoelectrical problems with cracks. Indeed, the transient thermal problem is coupled to the electrical problem by the heat generation in the solid, and the heat generation at the crack’s lips due to the interface resistance. The heat and electrical exchanges between the crack’s lips are also considered, and depend, respectively, on the temperature and the voltage jump at the crack. Due to the heat generation in the solid and in crack’s lips (Joule effect), and the temperature dependence of the physical parameters of the material, the problem is nonlinear and fully coupled. The discretized nonlinear system by the XFEM method is solved using the Newton-Raphson algorithm. The robustness of the proposed technique is demonstrated through the simulation of different examples, and the results shows an excellent agreement with the analytical solution, or with the finite element solution using a refined mesh.

Full textThe two-phase flow problems have an important role in the multitude of domains in science and engineering. Their complexity is so high that the actual models can solve only particular or simplified cases with a certain degree of precision. A new approach is a necessity to understand the evolution of new ideas and the physical complexity in this kind of flow, to contribute to the study of this field. A good study requires solid and robust tools to have performing results and a maximum of efficacy. At the interface of separation between the two immiscible fluids, the physical parameters are discontinuous, which gives us difficulties for the description of the physical variables at the interface and boundary conditions. The fact that the density and the viscosity are discontinuous at the interface creates kinks in the velocity, which represent a weak discontinuity. The existence of the surface tension at the interface create a discontinuity for the pressure field, it represents a strong discontinuity. The main objective of this work is to make a complete study based on strong and robust physical, mathematical and numerical tools. A strong combination, capable of capturing the physical aspect of the interface between the two fluids with a very good precision. Building such a robust, cost effective and accurate numerical model is challenging and requires lots of efforts and a multidisciplinary knowledge in mathematics, physics and computer science. First, an analytical study was made where the one fluid model of the Navier-Stokes equation was proved from Newton’s laws and jump conditions at the interface was proved and detailed analytically. To treat the problem of discontinuity, we used the XFEM method to discretize our discontinuous variables. Due to the large distortion encountered in this kind of fluid mechanic problems, we are going to use the Eulerian approach, and to correct the oscillation of solutions we will use the SUPG/PSPG stabilization technic. The treatment of the interface curvature k was done with the Laplace Beltrami operator and the interface tracking with the Level-set method. To treat the jump conditions with a very sharp precision we used the Nitsche’s method, developed in different cases. After building a strong mathematical and physical model in the first parts of our work, we did a numerical study using the FEniCS computational platform, which is a platform of computational development based on C++ with a Python interface. A numerical code was developed in this study, in the case of two-phase flow problem, based on the previous mathematical and physical models detailed in previous sections.

Full textFracture toughness in materials is not only controlled by macroscopic parameters but also by the microstructure. The defects of the crystalline structure such as voids, inclusions or dislocations can also greatly impact toughness. To better understand this, 3D simulations of a crack front interacting with dislocations will be carried out. These simulations aim at measuring the variations of the stress intensity factors on the crack front caused by the presence of dislocations. To carry out these simulations, two preexisting models will be combined: Extended Finite Elements Method (XFEM) and Discrete Dislocation Dynamics (DDD). XFEM is an evolution of the Finite Elements Methods that allows the study of a propagating crack without needing to remesh, it will control the studied volume, the applied loading and the crack position while DDD controls the dislocations, their movement, and their multiplication. The accuracy of the created model is tested by comparisons with atomistic simulations. To test the effect of dislocations on toughness, several dislocations with different slip systems were studied. Other parameters such as dislocation crack distance, line direction, and initial strain were also studied. To compare the studied model with existing simulation results, two crack orientations were selected. The studied dislocations have different behaviors depending on their slip system. The results show dislocations creating shielding, antishielding or a combination of both. These effects are only dependent of the dislocation nature, and do not change when the dislocation line direction changes or if the dislocation is farther from the crack, though the intensity of the effect does change given these circumstances. Since the presence of dislocations is associated to a shear stress in their glide planes, it is found that they have more effect on KII than on KI. KII also controls the crack propagation angle, which means that the dislocations are one of the main sources of crack deviation

Full textAu cours de la production de l'aluminium via le procédé de Hall-Héroult, le bain gelé, obtenu par solidification du bain électrolytique, joue un rôle significatif dans le maintien de la stabilité de la cellule d'électrolyse. L'objectif de ce travail est le développement d'un modèle numérique bidimensionnel afin de prédire le profil du bain gelé dans le système biphasé bain liquide/bain gelé, et ce, en résolvant trois problèmes physiques couplés incluant le problème de changement de phase (problème de Stefan), la variation de la composition chimique du bain et le mouvement de ce dernier. Par souci de simplification, la composition chimique du bain est supposée comme étant un système binaire. La résolution de ces trois problèmes, caractérisés par le mouvement de l'interface entre les deux phases et les discontinuités qui ont lieu à l'interface, constitue un grand défi pour les méthodes de résolution conventionnelles, basées sur le principe de la continuité des variables. En conséquence, la méthode des éléments finis étendus (XFEM) est utilisée comme alternative afin de traiter les discontinuités locales inhérentes à chaque solution tandis que la méthode de la fonction de niveaux (level-set) est exploitée pour capturer, implicitement, l'évolution de l'interface entre les deux phases. Au cours du développement de ce modèle, les problématiques suivantes : 1) l'écoulement monophasique à densité variable 2) le problème de Stefan couplé au transport d'espèces chimiques dans un système binaire sans considération du phénomène de la convection et 3) le problème de Stefan et le mouvement du fluide qui en résulte sont investigués par le biais du couplage entre deux problèmes parmi les problèmes mentionnées ci-dessus. La pertinence et la précision de ces sous-modèles sont testées à travers des comparaisons avec des solutions analytiques ou des résultats obtenus via des méthodes numériques conventionnelles. Finalement, le modèle tenant en compte les trois physiques est appliqué à la simulation de certains scénarios de solidification/fusion du système bain liquide-bain gelé. Dans cette dernière application, le mouvement du bain, induit par la différence de densité entre les deux phases ou par la force de flottabilité due aux gradients de température et/ou de concentration, est décrit par le problème de Stokes. Ce modèle se caractérise par le couplage entre différentes physiques, notamment la variation de la densité du fluide et de la température de fusion en fonction de la concentration des espèces chimiques. En outre, la méthode XFEM démontre sa précision et sa flexibilité pour traiter différents types de discontinuité tout en considérant un maillage fixe.
During the Hall-Héroult process for smelting aluminium, the ledge formed by freezing the molten bath plays a significant role in maintaining the internal working condition of the cell at stable state. The present work aims at building a vertically two-dimensional numerical model to predict the ledge profile in the bath-ledge two-phase system through solving three interactive physical problems including the phase change problem (Stefan problem), the variation of bath composition and the bath motion. For the sake of simplicity, the molten bath is regarded as a binary system in chemical composition. Solving the three involved problems characterized by the free moving internal boundary and the presence of discontinuities at the free boundary is always a challenge to the conventional continuum-based methods. Therefore, as an alternative method, the extended finite element method (XFEM) is used to handle the local discontinuities in each solution space while the interface between phases is captured implicitly by the level set method. In the course of model building, the following subjects: 1) one-phase density driven flow 2) Stefan problem without convection mechanism in the binary system 3) Stefan problem with ensuing melt flow in pure material, are investigated by coupling each two of the problems mentioned above. The accuracy of the corresponding sub-models is verified by the analytical solutions or those obtained by the conventional methods. Finally, the model by coupling three physics is applied to simulate the freezing/melting of the bath-ledge system under certain scenarios. In the final application, the bath flow is described by Stokes equations and induced either by the density jump between different phases or by the buoyancy forces produced by the temperature or/and compositional gradients. The present model is characterized by the coupling of multiple physics, especially the liquid density and the melting point are dependent on the species concentration. XFEM also exhibits its accuracy and flexibility in dealing with different types of discontinuity based on a fixed mesh.

The present model is characterized by the coupling of multiple physics, especially the liquid density and the melting point are dependent on the species concentration. XFEM also exhibits its accuracy and flexibility in dealing with different types of discontinuity based on a fixed mesh.
Yao, Lan. "Experimental and numerical study of dynamic crack propagation in ice under impact loading." Thesis, Lyon, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LYSEI043/document.
Full textThe phenomena relating to the fracture behaviour of ice under impact loading are common in civil engineering, for offshore structures, and de-ice processes. To reduce the damage caused by ice impact and to optimize the design of structures or machines, the investigation on the dynamic fracture behaviour of ice under impact loading is needed. This work focuses on the dynamic crack propagation in ice under impact loading. A series of impact experiments is conducted with the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. The temperature is controlled by a cooling chamber. The dynamic process of the ice fracture is recorded with a high speed camera and then analysed by image methods. The extended finite element method is complementary to evaluate dynamic fracture toughness at the onset and during the propagation. The dynamic behaviour of ice under impact loading is firstly investigated with cylindrical specimen in order to obtain the dynamic stress-strain relation which will be used in later simulation. We observed multiple cracks in the experiments on the cylindrical specimens but their study is too complicated. To better understand the crack propagation in ice, a rectangular specimen with a pre-crack is employed. By controlling the impact velocity, the specimen fractures with a main crack starting from the pre-crack. The crack propagation history and velocity are evaluated by image analysis based on grey-scale and digital image correlation. The main crack propagation velocity is identified in the range of 450 to 610 m/s which confirms the previous results. It slightly varies during the propagation, first increases and keeps constant and then decreases. The experimentally obtained parameters, such as impact velocity and crack propagation velocity, are used for simulations with the extended finite element method. The dynamic crack initiation toughness and dynamic crack growth toughness are determined when the simulation fits the experiments. The results indicate that the dynamic crack growth toughness is linearly associated with crack propagation velocity and seems temperature independent in the range -15 to -1 degrees

Full textThis thesis focuses on the generalization of the NXFEM method proposed by A. and P. Hansbo for elliptic interface problem. Numerical modeling and simulation of flow in fractured media are at the heart of many applications, such as petroleum and porous media (reservoir modeling, presence of faults, signal propagation, identification of layers ...), aerospace (problems of shock, rupture), civil engineering (concrete cracking), but also in cell biology (deformation of red blood cells). In addition, many research projects require the development of robust methods for the consideration of singularities, which is one of the motivations and objectives of the Concha team and of this thesis. First a modification of this method was proposed to obtain a robust method not only with respect to the mesh-interface geometry, but also with respect to the diffusion parameters. We then looked to its generalization to any type of 2D-3D meshes (triangles, quadrilaterals, tetrahedra, hexahedra), and for any type of finites elements (conforming, nonconforming, Galerkin discontinuous) for plane and curved interfaces. The applications have been referred to the flow problems in fractured porous media : adaptation of NXFEM method to solve an asymptotic model of faults, to unsteady problems, transport problems, or to multi-fractured domains

Full textIn high speed machining, wear resistance of the cutting tools is improved by depositing single or multilayered coatings on their surface. However, the thermomechanical loading generated at the tool-workpiece interface greatly affects the contact zones. For this purpose, several wear modes such as cracking, abrasion, adhesion and delamination of the coating can be occurred. The study of the coatings behavior and their different degradation modes lead to better understanding of their impact on the tool life and machining process under optimal conditions. In this PhD thesis work, a multi-step numerical approach has been proposed to predict wear of the coated cutting tools. This approach involves three main steps. The first is to perform a finite element simulation of the orthogonal cutting for a short time (until the loading stabilization at the tool/workpiece interface). The second step is to recover this loading and use it as an input for the XFEM/Level-set model. The latter allow to take into account the coating layers presence without any need of mesh conforming to the interfaces. As a result, the mesh distortion is avoided when the worn tool profile is updated, as well as the CPU calculation time is drastically reduced. The final step of this approach is to convert the wear rate equation into a nodal displacement, thus representing the cutting tool wear. Based on the experimental tests, a procedure for identifying tool/workpiece contact parameters, and for calibrating the wear equation for each coating layer has been proposed. Experimental trials have been also used to validate the proposed approach

Full textThe modelization of nano-reinforced material requires to take into account the size effect caused by the local phenomena at the interface between the nano-inclusion and the matrix. This size effect is interpreted through an increase in the ratio interface/volume and can be taken into account by introducing a surface elasticity at the interface. Whereas a lot of works have been developed from the analytical point of view, few contributions are related to numerical description and implementation of such surface elasticity in Finite Element Method (FEM). Our studies aim to develop efficient numerical tools based on FEM for the modeling of nanocomposites. Firstly, we evaluate the two existent numerical strategies namely the XFEM approach and the Interface element approach in reproducing the size effect in the homogenization process. Secondly, based on a performance test on the three types of formulations of E-FEM for the case of weak discontinuity, we propose an enhanced SKON formulation allowing to incorporate the effect of a coherent interface. Finally, the numerical modeling on the nonlinear behavior of nanocomposites is investigated. In the first step, a von Mises type elastoplastic law with linear isotropic hardening is considered for the bulk while the interface is considered as linear elastic

Full textIn this thesis, several approaches for modeling fiber-reinforced composites are proposed. The material under consideration is fiber-reinforced concrete, which is composed of a few constituents: concrete, short steel fibers, and the interface between them. The behavior of concrete is described by a damage model with localized failure, fibers are taken to be linear elastic, and the behavior of the interface is modeled with a bond-slip pull-out law. A multi-scale approach for coupling all the constituents is proposed, where the macro-scale computation is carried out using the operator-split solution procedure. This partitioned approach divides the computation in two phases, global and local, where different failure mechanisms are treated separately, which is in accordance with the experimentally observed composite behavior. An inverse model for fiber-reinforced concrete is presented, where the stochastic caracterization of the fibers is known from their distribution inside the domain. Parameter identification is performed by minimizing the error between the computed and measured values. The proposed models are validated through numerical examples
