4. Summary of results

As far as non-cracked bars are concerned, the Aster results in temperature and stress are very close to the reference (less than \(\text{1 \%}\) maximum for temperature and less than \(\text{0,5 \%}\) maximum for stresses). On the other hand, for the energy return rate, the Aster results are far from the reference since we note a maximum difference of \(\text{30\%}\) for \(\mathrm{Fo}=\mathrm{0,001}\), with an announced precision of \(\text{5\%}\) on the reference solution.
