v7.31.149 WTNV149 — Contact at a junction of cohesive interfaces for the hydromechanical case

Summary:

This is an analytical validation test of the correct consideration of contact in the presence of a junction of cohesive interfaces for the hydromechanical case coupled with the extended finite element method (XFEM). Since the test is purely mechanical, all the degrees of freedom associated with the fluid phase are locked at 0. Modeling A is two-dimensional while modeling B is three-dimensional.
