Center Cracked Plate with Quadratic Thermal Distribution

Test Description

A plate with center crack and plane strain elements is subjected to quadratic thermal distribution that varies from 0°C to 100°C. Symmetry has been taken into account and only one quarter of the plate is modeled. U_Y=0 along un-cracked portion. U_X=0 along symmetry.
