12. J modeling#

Validation of the interface element HEXA8 with the cohesive law for fatigue CZM_FAT_MIX in open mode. The loading here is cyclical (see 5) erratic. The odd times are the peaks and the even times correspond to the troughs.

12.1. Characteristics of modeling#

D_ PLAN modeling for the elastic element.

Modeling PLAN_INTERFACE_S for the interface element

12.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

Number of knots: 12

The elastic element is a HEXA8.

The interface element is a degenerate HEXA8 (nodes combined).

12.3. Tested sizes and results#

The remark on control mentioned for modeling A also applies to this modeling.

Remarks:

  • The SIXXest tested on the elastic volume element, the other tests are carried out on the interface element.

  • We test the normal stress on a gauss point: SIGN (SIEF_ELGA) as well as the Lagrange multiplier on a middle node: SIGN (DEPL).
