Finite element modeling of the processes of elastic-plastic deformation of reclamation objects of the agro-industrial complex

Abstract

Abstract Annotation. To study the processes of nonlinear deformation of reclamation objects and engineering systems of the agro-industrial complex, taking into account the plastic stage of the used structural material, a finite element model was created based on a volumetric prismatic discretization element with quadrangular bases. The plastic stage of deformation of the applied structural material of the object is taken into account on the basis of the provisions of the deformation theory of plasticity. The plasticity matrix at the (j + 1)-th stage of sequential loading was compiled as a result of applying the operation of differentiating the stress tensor components accumulated over the j previous stages of sequential loading with respect to the strain tensor components. The stiffness matrix and the column of nodal forces of a prismatic discretization element with quadrangular bases at the (j + 1)-th stage of loading were obtained by minimizing the Lagrange functional. Numerical experiments on the calculation of a tubular outlet proved the adequacy of the developed finite element model and the accuracy of calculating the required strength parameters of the studied reclamation objects and other engineering systems of the agro-industrial complex, sufficient for engineering practice.
