v7.14.100 EPICU01 - Order validation POST_K_BETA

Summary:

This test validates the operation of the POST_K_BETA command, which calculates the stress intensity factors at the two fault points, using the constraints at the nodes resulting from mechanical resolution.

This test is divided into two types of modeling:

• EPICU01a: axisymmetric modeling,

• EPICU01b: \(\mathrm{3D}\) modeling.

• 1. Reference problem
  • 1.1. Geometry
  • 1.2. Material properties
  • 1.3. Boundary conditions and loads
• 2. Benchmark solution
  • 2.1. Benchmark results
  • 2.2. Uncertainty about the solution
• 3. Modeling A
  • 3.1. Characteristics of modeling
  • 3.2. Characteristics of the mesh
  • 3.3. Tested sizes and results
• 4. B modeling
  • 4.1. Characteristics of modeling
  • 4.2. Characteristics of the mesh
  • 4.3. Tested sizes and results
• 5. Summary of results
