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 67.5° with respect to the vertical axis. The is plate subjected to uniform tension of 100MPa. Plane strain elements are used. Full geometry is considered. U_y is constrained at the base and U_x is constrained at the right corner of the base.
