The movements are blocked on the back (:math:`{u}_{x}\mathrm{=}0`), left side (:math:`{u}_{y}\mathrm{=}0`) and bottom (:math:`{u}_{z}\mathrm{=}0`) faces. **Phase 2:** The movements are maintained blocked on the rear (:math:`{u}_{x}\mathrm{=}0`), left lateral (:math:`{u}_{y}\mathrm{=}0`) and lower (:math:`{u}_{z}\mathrm{=}0`) faces, as well as the confinement pressure on the front and right lateral faces. An imposed displacement is applied on the upper face: .. image:: images/Object_9.svg :width: 286 :height: 228 .. _RefImage_Object_9.svg: , so as to obtain a deformation :math:`{\varepsilon }_{\mathit{zz}}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{-}20\text{\%}` (counted from the start of phase 2).
