17. O modeling#

Validation of the interface element PENTA15 with the cohesive law for fatigue CZM_TRA_MIX in open mode. Loading here is cyclical to cycle through all states of the law.

17.1. Characteristics of modeling#

3D modeling for the elastic element.

3D modeling_ INTERFACE_S for the interface element

17.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

Number of knots: 24

The elastic element is a PENTA15.

The interface element is a degenerate PENTA15 (nodes combined).

17.3. Tested sizes and results#

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

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

Unlike \(\mathrm{2D}\), we’re testing SITY rather than SITX.
