v6.03.504 SSNP504 — Contact in large swings for compliant oblique cracks

Summary:

The purpose of this test is to test the contact in large slides for oblique cracks in accordance with the mesh.

We consider a 2D structure, a rectangle with two oblique cracks crossing it completely (we will then speak of interfaces). The blocking of horizontal movements is imposed at the four corners of the rectangle, vertical movements are imposed on the lower and upper edges of the rectangle in order to tighten the middle block, which is imposed a horizontal movement to make it slide, by climbing along the interfaces. As a result of the compression stress thus created, contact pressures appear on the areas in contact, with an evolution of their values as a function of the progress of the middle block.
