.. _V7.02.100: **v7.02.100** HPLP100 - Calculation of the energy return rate of a cracked plate in thermoelasticity ============================================================================================================== **Summary** It is a thermo-elasticity test for a two-dimensional problem. We consider a rectangular plate that is cracked and the hypothesis of plane deformations is assumed. In **modeling A**, the energy return rate is calculated during post-treatment by two different methods: * classical calculation using the theta method, * calculation by the IRWIN formula using the stress intensity coefficient :math:`\mathit{KI}`. These two calculations are carried out on 4 different integration rings. Their interest is to compare the values of :math:`G`, :math:`G(\mathrm{IRWIN})` and :math:`\mathit{KI}` with respect to the reference solution and to test the invariance of the calculations with respect to the various integration crowns. In **the B** modeling, the energy return rate is calculated by post-processing a classical calculation by the theta method. This calculation is carried out for several crowns of different integrations, in a formalism of large transformations. .. 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_ses_des_r_sultats
