Résumé

Dans des publications précédentes [1] a été décrit un modèle mathématique servant à simuler le comportement mécanique des matériaux, dans des intervalles de contrainte ordinairement déterminés dans les calculs, des structures. Son emploi peut aider à expliquer le comportement des matériaux dans différentes conditions de contrainte, à condition que soient déterminées 5 constantes viscoélastique fournies par les essais de fluage. Une fois ces constantes ètablies au moyen d'un ordinateur électronique, le modèle peut servir, à expliquer le comportement, du matériau au cours d'un essai ordinaire de torsion, à obtenir les diagrammes contrainte/déformation, etc ... A titre d'exemple, les résultats de fluage de mortier de ciment obtenus dans des conditions expérimentales rigoureusement définies sont traités afin d'obtenir les constantes viscoélastiques; ces valeurs permettent d'établir les diagrammes contrainte/déformation du mortier de ciment et de les comparer avec les résultats expérimentaux.

Summary

On previous publications [1], a methematical model has been used to simulate the mechanical behavior of materials, on stress intervals commonly found on structural designs. Use of it can be made to explain the behavior of materials on different stress situation, if five viscoelastics constants [2] obtained from creep tests, are determined. Once the constants are found through electronic processing of data, the model can be used to explain the behavior of the material in a common torsion test, to obtain stress-strain diagrams or any other stress situation. As on example, creep data on cement mortars, obtained on a carefully controlled experimental setup are analysed and processed, to obtain the viscoelastic constants; with these values, stress-strain diagrams are obtained for cement mortar and compared with experimental data.
