9. Summary of results

This test case aims to validate the calculation of the energy return rate in non-linear elasticity:

• • • The A and B models make it possible to validate the calculation of G in plane deformations, in pure mode 1 and in mixed mode

    • C modeling validates the calculation of G axisymmetrically, in pure mode 1.

    • D modeling validates the G calculation following a thermo-mechanical calculation.
