19. R modeling

Validation of joint \(\mathrm{3D}\) in quadratic with the JOINT_MECA_FROT law

19.1. Characteristics of modeling

3D modeling for the elastic element.

3D modeling_ JOINT for the joint element

19.2. Characteristics of the mesh

Number of knots: 32

The elastic element is a HEXA20.

The joint element is a degenerate HEXA20 (knots combined).

19.3. Tested sizes and results

Mixed Mode \(I\) , \(\mathrm{II}\) , \(\mathrm{III}\)

We only do non-regression tests, by mixing the loading modes. The same load is applied as in P modeling, but the load in the third direction is added.
