v6.03.170 SSNP170 — Taylor patch test#

Summary:

This test consists in the semi-static analysis of a problem with frictionless contact whose analytical solution is known. We are particularly interested here in the integration of contact terms (patch-test) by the Mortar Local Average Contact (LAC) method. This involves studying two identical blocks meshed differently and subjected to compression.

So this test includes ten models in \(2D\):

And fifteen models in \(3D\):
