4. C modeling#

4.1. Characteristics of modeling#

It is a nonlinear elasticity calculation under the hypothesis of small displacements, with the X- FEM method (non-meshed crack). The modeling is in plane constraints.

4.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

The mesh is composed of linear elements (560 meshes QUA4 - 600 knots). The refinement of the mesh is uniform (18 elements according to \(x\) and 31 elements according to \(y\)).

4.3. Tested sizes and results#

The \(\mathit{DY}\) component of the displacement is tested at the two points where the crack opens (points on each of the lips), at the last moment of the calculation (imposed displacement \(\mathrm{0,1}\mathit{mm}\)). This test is carried out on the displacement field created by the operator POST_CHAM_XFEM.

The reference value is the solution obtained in modeling A.
