3. B modeling

3.1. Characteristics of modeling

Same as modeling A.

3.2. Tested sizes and results

The solutions are calculated at the Gauss point and compared to references for an identical loading path without micro-discharges. They are given in terms of deformations \(\varepsilon_{xy}\):

The comparison between solutions with and without microdischarge is particularly good, with generally less than \(2\) percent error.
