5. C modeling#
5.1. Characteristics of modeling#
We take advantage of the symmetries of the problem to model only one eighth of the sphere.

Three models are tested: 3D_ INCO_UPG (SIMO_MIEHE and GDEF_LOG) and 3D_ INCO_UP
5.2. Characteristics of the mesh#
The 279 node mesh contains 60 PENTA15 elements.
5.3. Tested sizes and results#
The stress trace and the cumulative plastic deformation are tested for the most eccentric and the least eccentric Gauss points.

5.4. notes#
All incompressible formulations give good results. It can be seen from the that there are no more oscillations in the value of the stress trace with incompressible formulations unlike standard 3D elements.
