Adaptive Analysis of  Four-Point Shear Specimen Tested by Arrea and Ingraffea

 
specimen geometry and loading

[M. Arrea and A.R. Ingraffea: "Mixed-mode crack propagation in mortar and concrete", Department of Structural Engineering Report 81-13, Cornell University, Ithaca, 1981.]

Constitutive Model Nonlocal Isotropic damage
Constitutive Properties E  30.e3,  n 0.18,  e0 0.00011666666667, ef 0.0059953333333, R 5.0, Rankine equiv. strain measure
Error Indicator Damage level
Remeshing criteria Default mesh size (100) for regions with no damage. Inside damaged regions linear interpolation of mesh density, here taken as constant (4).
