4. B modeling#

4.1. Characteristics of modeling#

Method MAILLAGE is used by PROPA_FISS.

Option CALC_K_G is used by CALC_G to estimate stress intensity factors.

4.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

The same mesh is used as for modeling A.

4.3. Tested sizes and results#

We test, in non-regression with a tolerance of \(\text{0.1\%}\), the position of the crack bottom at the last iteration of propagation by recording the extremes of the ordinates of the points that compose it.

Propagation instant

\(\mathrm{Max}\mathrm{Coord}{y}_{i}\)

\(\mathrm{Min}\mathrm{Coord}{y}_{i}\)
