v6.03.166 SSNP166 - Notched beam in three-point bending

Summary:

The study of this problem makes it possible to characterize the energy required for the propagation of a crack in a concrete beam. It makes it possible to validate the CZM_EXP_MIX law of behavior by comparison with the experience of the global Force-Displacement behavior of a notched beam on two simple supports.

It corresponds to one of the experimental essays in Per-Erik Peterson’s thesis [bib1].
