VMR020-t2a
Single Edge Cracked Plate Subjected to Uniform Tensile Stress

Test Description

A single edge cracked plate with plane strain elements is subjected to a uniform tensile stress of 100MPa. 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 at location, X=10, and Y=0.
