Plastic Deformation of Notched Steel S235

Finite element analysis showing equivalent total strain distribution in a notched steel S235 plate under static load, visualizing plastic deformation zones.

The graphic displays the results of a nonlinear static analysis for a plate with two opposing semicircular notches made of steel grade S235. The visualization shows the distribution of equivalent total strains across the surface, highlighting significant plastic deformation concentrated around the notch roots.
