13. K modeling#

Validation of the interface element HEXA20 with the cohesive law for fatigue CZM_FAT_MIX in open mode. The loading here is cyclical (see 5) in a jagged pattern. The odd times are the peaks and the even times correspond to the troughs.

13.1. Characteristics of modeling#

3D modeling for the elastic element.

3D modeling_ INTERFACE_S for the interface element

13.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

Number of knots: 32

The elastic element is a HEXA20.

The interface element is a degenerate HEXA20 (nodes combined).

13.3. Tested sizes and results#

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

The quantities tested and the results are identical to those obtained in \(\mathrm{2D}\) (see modeling J paragraph 12.3).
