6. D modeling#

6.1. Characteristics of modeling#

It is a nonlinear elasticity calculation under the hypothesis of small displacements, in plane deformations. The crack is opened in mixed mode. The entire structure is shown. A non-uniform stationary temperature is applied.

6.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

The mesh is identical to that of modeling B.

6.3. 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.
