1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

Embedment: The imposed displacements are zero on the face of the cohesive element opposite to the elastic element. The joint is inclined at 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane, which gives the following directions of loading depending on the mode of stress:

In traction test:

An imposed displacement \(U\) is applied to the face of the elastic element opposite the joint (see FIG. 1).

\(\mathit{DX}=5{e}^{-4}\mathrm{cos}(30°)\)

\(\mathit{DY}=5{e}^{-4}\mathrm{sin}(30°)\)

\(\mathit{DZ}=0\)

In shear test:

Compression pressure is imposed on the face of the elastic element opposite the joint in order to put the seal into a compressed state.

\(\mathit{PRES}={10}^{4}\mathit{Pa}\)

In addition, an imposed displacement \(U\) is applied to all the nodes on the upper face of the elastic cube.

\(\mathit{DNOR}=\mathrm{0,5}\)
