1. 2D reference problem#

1.1. Geometry#

The structure is a healthy square plate with side \(L=10\text{m}\).

The interface is represented by a circular level set introduced into the command file using the DEFI_FISS_XFEM [U4.82.08] operator given in its analytical form: \({(x-5)}^{2}+{(y-\mathrm{11,77})}^{2}=\mathrm{64,27}\). It was chosen in such a way as to completely cross the structure but does not identify with an inclusion [V6.04.507].

The position of the reference points is:

\(x\)

\(y\)

\(A\)

0

5.5

\(B\)

5

3.75

\(C\)

10

5.5

1.2. Material properties#

Poisson’s ratio: \(0\)

Young’s module: \(1.{10}^{6}N/{m}^{2}\)

Coulomb coefficient: \(2.0\)

1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#

The lower face is blocked by an embedment and a \({u}_{y}=-{1.10}^{-6}m\) movement is imposed on the upper face.
