4. Summary of results

It should be noted that the activation of option GLISSIERE had the expected effect, once contact had been established in step 2, that is to say the absence of detachment in direction \(\mathrm{OZ}\) in step 3, despite the imposition of a movement in this direction, with a structure in tension. The discontinuity following \(\mathrm{OZ}\), at the interface level, is zero at the end of steps 2 and 3 and the upper part of the block slides in the direction \(\mathrm{OY}\) with the imposed value.
