5. C modeling#

5.1. Characteristics of modeling#

It is a nonlinear elasticity calculation under the hypothesis of small displacements, in axisymmetric mode. The crack is open in pure I mode. Only half of the structure is represented by symmetry.

5.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

The mesh is identical to that of modeling A.

5.3. Tested sizes and results#

The results obtained for three different integration rings are compared:

The reference values of G from method 3 POST_K1_K2_K3 selected as well as the associated details are provided in the table below.
