# Single-Element Patch Test for Elasticity (test/elements/)
## What
Validates the CORE assembly infrastructure by testing a single Tet10 element under
uniaxial tension. This is the **fundamental validation** - if this passes, the
assembly machinery works correctly.
## Why
Single-element tests isolate the assembly implementation from mesh complexities,
boundary condition handling, and solver issues. This is the **first line of defense**
for catching bugs in:
- Shape function gradient computation
- Strain calculation from displacement gradients
- Material model stress/tangent evaluation
- Stiffness matrix assembly (B^T * C * B integration)
- Internal force vector assembly (B^T * σ integration)
- Zero-allocation performance
- Type stability
**Laboratory philosophy**: Test the "material" (assembly code) before building
the "structure" (full FEM analysis).
## How
**Test Geometry:**

**Material:** Linear elastic (E=200 GPa, ν=0.3)
**Loading:** Uniaxial tension in x-direction
**Expected:** σₓₓ = E·εₓₓ, σᵧᵧ = σᵤᵤ = 0, εᵧᵧ = εᵤᵤ = -ν·εₓₓ
**Test Sequence:**
1. **Material Model Validation**: Compute σ = C:ε for known strain, check values
2. **Strain Computation**: Verify ε = ½(∇u + ∇u^T) for known displacement field
3. **Zero Allocations**: Confirm assembly helpers allocate 0 bytes (hot path)
4. **Type Stability**: All assembly functions pass @inferred
5. **Matrix Properties**: Stiffness matrix symmetric and positive definite
## Expected Results
- ✅ **Material model**: σₓₓ = E·εₓₓ for uniaxial strain (other components zero)
- ✅ **Tangent modulus**: C₁₁₁₁ = λ+2μ, C₁₁₂₂ = λ, C₁₂₁₂ = μ (Lamé parameters)
- ✅ **Strain computation**: Uniform extension → εₓₓ = displacement gradient
- ✅ **Zero allocations**:
- `accumulate_stiffness!(K_e, ∇N, 𝔻, w)` → 0 bytes
- `accumulate_internal_forces!(f_int, ∇N, σ, w)` → 0 bytes
- ✅ **Type stability**: All `@inferred` checks pass
- ✅ **Symmetry**: ||K_e - K_e^T|| < 1e-10
- ✅ **Positive definiteness**: All eigenvalues > 0
## What This Validates
This single test validates the ENTIRE assembly chain:
```
Displacement u (30 DOF)
↓ (via shape function gradients ∇N)
Strain ε = ½(∇u + ∇u^T) [SymmetricTensor{2,3}]
↓ (via material model)
Stress σ = C:ε [SymmetricTensor{2,3}]
Tangent 𝔻 = ∂σ/∂ε [SymmetricTensor{4,3}]
↓ (via B^T operations)
Stiffness K_e = ∫ B^T 𝔻 B dV [30×30 matrix]
Force f_int = ∫ B^T σ dV [30-vector]
```
If ALL of this works for ONE element, the infrastructure is sound!
## Architecture Validation
- **Tensors.jl**: All math uses Vec{3}, SymmetricTensor{2,3}, etc.
- **Zero-allocation**: Hot paths use pre-allocated buffers, tuple-based operations
- **Type-stable**: All functions return concrete types (no abstract types in loops)
- **Immutable materials**: Material models pure functions (no hidden state mutation)
## Philosophy
**"Test the simplest thing that could possibly work"**
- 1 element → eliminates mesh issues
- Linear material → eliminates nonlinearity
- Known analytical solution → eliminates solver uncertainty
- All checks automatic → no visual inspection needed
**If this fails, FIX IT before adding complexity!**

Unit cube Tet10 element with:
- Material: Linear elastic (E=200 GPa, ν=0.3)
- Loading: Uniaxial tension in x-direction
- BCs: Fixed face at x=0, prescribed displacement at x=1
# Expected Results
For uniaxial stress σₓₓ = σ₀:
- Strain: εₓₓ = σ₀/E, εᵧᵧ = εᵤᵤ = -ν·εₓₓ
- All other stress components = 0
# What This Validates
✅ Shape function gradients correct
✅ Strain computation correct
✅ Material model integration correct
✅ Stiffness assembly correct
✅ Force assembly correct
✅ Zero allocations in hot path
✅ Type stability throughout
If this test passes, the core assembly infrastructure works!
