VMR020-t8a
V-Notch Cracked Plate Subjected to Uniform Tensile Stress

Test Description

A v notch plate of crack length a with plane strain elements is subjected to a uniform normal stress of 100MPa. Symmetry has been taken into account and only one quarter of the plate is modeled. UY=0 along uncracked portion, UX=0 along symmetry
