VMR020-t3a
An Angle Crack Embedded in a Plate Subjected to Uniaxial Tension

Test Description

A crack of length 2a is embedded in a plate at an angle of 22.5° with respect to the vertical axis. The plate is subjected to uniform tension of 100MPa. Plane strain elements are used. Full geometry is considered. Uy is constrained at the base and Ux is constrained at the right corner of the base.
