[en] The objective of the study is the extension of the existing 2D FEniCS implementation of
Cosserat elasticity to the 3D case. The first step is the implementation of a patch-test for a
simple problem in classical elasticity as a Timoshenko's beam - this study will show that
DOLFIN could offer approximated solutions converging to the analytical solution. The second step
is the computation of the stress in a plate with a circular hole. The stress concentration factors
around the hole in classical and Cosserat elasticities will be compared, and a convergence study for
the Cosserat case will be realised. The third step is the extension to the 3D case with the
computation of the stress concentration factor around a spherical cavity in an infinite elastic
medium. This computed value will be compare to the analytical solution described by couple-stress
theory.
