VMR020-t8b
V-Notch Cracked Plate Subjected to Uniform Normal Displacement

Test Description

A v notch plate of crack length a with plane strain elements is subjected to a uniform normal displacement of 0.1mm. Symmetry has been taken into account and only one quarter of the plate is modeled. UY = 0 along uncracked portion, UX = 0 along symmetry.
