Benchmarks to check traction boundary condition on the surface

From these benchmarks, we like to confirm if the zero traction boundary condition is satisfird on the surface, which means that the traction force should be zero on the cylinder boundary. To do that, two models are prepared , varying the geometry of dislocation loop, as following figures.

Model geometries

• 

  [flat loop]

• 

  [Inclined loop ]

To satisfy traction zero boundary, we need to check if $\sigma _{rr}\,\!$ ,$\sigma _{r\theta }\,\!$, and $\sigma _{rz}\,\!$ can be zero on the surface.

Conclusion

Based on the plot, we can see that $\sigma _{rr}\,\!$ ,$\sigma _{r\theta }\,\!$, and $\sigma _{rz}\,\!$ are zero on the surface.Therefore, the traction boundary condition is satisfied well.
