.. _V7.01.311: **v7.01.311** HPLA311 - Murakami 11.39. Circular crack in the center of a sphere subjected to a uniform temperature on the lips ==================================================================================================================================== **Summary:** This test is the result of the independent validation of version 3 in fracture mechanics. It is a basic static test in axisymmetry under stationary thermal loading calculated by finite elements on the same mesh of a limited domain. The behavior is isotropic linear thermoelastic. It includes two axisymmetric models for which the a/b ratio is varied, a being the radius of the circular internal crack in the horizontal plane xoy and b radius of the sphere. The stress intensity factors K and the energy recovery rate are calculated by the theta method (operator CALC_G). .. toctree:: :hidden: self .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :numbered: Probl_me_de_r_f_rence Solution_de_r_f_rence Mod_lisation_A Mod_lisation_B Synth_se_des_r_sultats
