Fig. 18.32 Tensile test with fracture rectangular centered lattice, coordination number 5. Configuration over different times (1, 23, 33, 38, 40 and 63) with PE1 contour plot, of pseudoenergy
a piece of paper. The fracture distance is 10 units, and the speed is 0.4 unit/time step
(Fig. 18.34).
Case (c) ASTM test
In order to investigate sample behavior of a well-known shape, we have carried out
some calculations considering a specimen quite similar to the ASTM D638 standards
for tensile tests. The specimen is clamped at both ends on a surface and pulled on
one side, so, in this case, the leaders are many; the test speed is of 2.5 unit/step, in x
positive direction, for 150 traction step e 2500 relaxation step. We have considered
simple tensile tests with different lattice, lateral contraction effect and fracture cases.
