2. Modeling A#

In modeling A, we study the 2D structure with, first, the definition of the lower and upper lips of the crack and then by defining only the bottom node.

2.1. Characteristics of the mesh#

The mesh is shown in the following figure:

_images/100000000000057F000002BF05B2DA76C1DB6B07.png

It is composed of 296 knots for 513 TRIA3 elements. The crack bottom is composed of a single node located at coordinate \((0.5\mathrm{,0}.5)\).
