The following model is a plate restrained from three sides and loaded with axial load at the mid-point of the upper side
Why Mises stress-time relation at the center of the plate takes the following sawtooth shape after running adaptivity process
see the attached photos
Hi Khaled Megahed,
Maybe the node of Mises output is changing its location in the process of adaptivity.
Thank you Victor J. Аdlucky for your reply.
The figure describe stress plotted during one iteration (where mesh is fixed inside each iteration)
Also, I partitioned the plate into four parts and chose their common point which is fixed through the whole iterations
The sawtooth shape of the curve is caused by non-coinciding Mises values extrapolated from four elements adjacent to the centre node.
