VCCT delamination using plane182 with plane stress with thickness

      Hello Team,

      I faced an issue while validating the DCB test for delamination using Ansys plane 182 plane stress option using VCCT. 

      -->The critical load as predicted by ansys doesn't seem to match with the expected values: It under-predicts the critical load for delamination. 

      -->Also, the initial slope of the force-deflection before the failure initiates also appears to be not matching.

      I tried refining the mesh and using higher order but the issue still persists. 

      I have attached the input file: dcb.dat to reproduce this issue. Also attached is the image of the various simulated results.


      The parameters of DCB are:

      L=200           !* length

      dh=40            !* total thickness

      a0=100 ! pre-crack length

      nel=200           !* no.elements along length

      neh=40            !* no.elements along thick

      emod=2.0e+05 ! E

      thick=10 ! width

      g1c=0.9628         !* critical energy-release rate

      pratio=0.3 ! *Proisson ratio


      Please let me know your comments on observed results and suggestions. also, may i know if there is any validation problem to verify using plane stress option.

      Where do the expected results come from?nYour plot legend says ref and in house code. What are those?n
