.. _V6.04.510: **v6.04.510** SSNV510 - Uniaxial compression of a multi-cracked block ===================================================================== **Summary:** This test validates the multi-Heaviside approach for the X- FEM elements. This is a test case where several interfaces compressed laterally are introduced. The mesh is quite coarse so that the meshes see several cracks. Some knots also see multiple cracks. These nodes then contain several Heaviside enhancements. It is verified that these various enhancements are taken into account at the kinematic level and that the stiffness matrices associated with each zone between two interfaces make it possible to obtain the correct deformations. We are testing the contact and non-contact approach. .. toctree:: :hidden: self .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :numbered: Probl_me_de_r_f_rence Solution_de_r_f_rence Mod_lisation_A Mod_lisation_B Mod_lisation_C Mod_lisation_G Mod_lisation_H Mod_lisation_I Synth_se_des_r_sultats
