3. B modeling#

3.1. Characteristics of modeling#

The entire domain is meshed into 6-node triangular elements. The mesh has 620 triangles and 64 segments.

1 time step of 1 s is modelled.

3.2 Results

In the figures and respectively, the horizontal displacements DX and the damage criterion (internal variable V1) are plotted at the end of \(\mathrm{1s}\).

We see a crack that starts at \(2/3\) of the domain (when V1 is equal to 1, the material is broken).

The form of the results is logically dependent on the mesh.
