v7.22.129 HSNV129 - Compression-expansion test for the study of thermal coupling-cracking

Summary:

A thermo-mechanical loading is applied to a volume element obeying Mazars law in order to verify that the dependence of the material parameters on temperature has been taken into account correctly and that thermal expansion has been taken into account. The load is homogeneous and decomposes as follows: compression with imposed displacement and constant temperature, then application of a heating-cooling cycle.
