6. Conclusion

This test validates the imposition of pressure on the lips of a crack in the X- FEM frame. The pressure can be constant or a function of space and time and the structure can be meshed with linear or quadratic elements.

This test does not validate the consideration of the specific pressure term for post-treatment in fracture mechanics (calculation of the energy return rate). A test case makes it possible to validate this functionality (ssnv185c).
