Property of materials ---------------------- Elastic properties under the keyword ELAS: :math:`E=24.6` :math:`\mathrm{MPa}` :math:`\mathrm{\nu }=0.47` :math:`\mathrm{\alpha }={10}^{-5}` :math:`{K}^{-1}` Viscoplastic properties under the keyword VISC_MAXWELL: Infinite volume viscosity :math:`{\mathrm{\eta }}_{v}={10}^{10}` :math:`\mathit{Pa}\mathrm{.}s` Deviatoric viscosity :math:`{\mathrm{\eta }}_{d}=1.59{10}^{7}` :math:`\mathit{Pa}\mathrm{.}s` Initial conditions, boundary conditions, and loading ----------------------------- **Phase 1:** The sample is brought to a homogeneous state of stresses: :math:`{\mathrm{\sigma }}_{\mathit{xx}}^{0}={\mathrm{\sigma }}_{\mathit{yy}}^{0}={\mathrm{\sigma }}_{\mathit{zz}}^{0}=\mathrm{0,5}\mathit{MPa}` in 1000 s, by imposing the corresponding total pressure on the front, right lateral and upper faces. The movements are blocked on the back (:math:`{u}_{x}=0`), left side (:math:`{u}_{y}=0`) and bottom (:math:`{u}_{z}=0`) faces. **Phase 2:** The movements are kept blocked on the rear (:math:`{u}_{x}=0`), left lateral (:math:`{u}_{y}=0`) and lower (:math:`{u}_{z}=0`) faces. An imposed displacement is applied on the upper face in order to obtain a deformation :math:`{\mathrm{\epsilon }}_{\mathit{zz}}=-\mathrm{0,01}` (for 1000 s counted from the start of phase 2). On the front and right lateral faces, boundary conditions under total stress are maintained: :math:`\mathrm{\sigma }\mathrm{.}n={\mathrm{\sigma }}_{0}(=0.5\mathit{MPa})`
