4. B modeling#
4.1. Characteristics of modeling#
This is a 3D_HM modeling using quadratic HM- XFEM elements.
4.2. Characteristics of the mesh#
The block on which the modeling is performed is divided into 25 HEXA20.
4.3. Tested quantities and results#
We test the value of the vertical movements for the nodes \(A\), \(A\text{'}\),,, \(B\),, \(B\text{'}\), \(C\) and \(C\text{'}\) on both sides of the interface. The tolerance is set to \({10}^{-6}\). These values are summarised in the table below:

4.4. notes#
We also visualized the field of movement in direction \(z\) (Figure and Figure). It is checked that the bar behaves like a non-cracked bar.
