jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 a719ae7e5b oracle: filleted L-bracket on the octree all-hex mesh 
A slow theory case: the corpus bracket meshed by mesh.hex.octree at 7, 5 and 4 mm, clamped
at the base and loaded by 2 kN. Checks equilibrium, that every element is certified valid,
the mesh volume against the CAD volume, the beam bending stress of the upright leg
(sigma = M c / I = 145.3 MPa, within 5%) and the convergence of the fillet von Mises stress
against the 4 mm mesh.

# Verification and validation oracle
Generated by `cargo xtask oracle` from [`tests/oracle/`](../tests/oracle/); the policy is [verification.md](verification.md). Every case is our own model, built with FieldCraft commands from the problem's published description, and compared with the reference value its `expected.json` cites, within the stated tolerance and for the stated reason. Accepted results are frozen in each case's `fixture.json`: a later change that moves one beyond its band (10⁻⁹ of its size) fails CI even while the reference still passes. No reference value was produced with a commercial product.
**170 of 176 quantities pass** (6 known failure(s)) in 50 active cases: 41 theory, 9 published benchmark, 0 experiment; 9 pending cases wait for capabilities still being built.

## Sources and tolerances
- **[bar-pressure-wave](../tests/oracle/bar-pressure-wave/)** (theory): Elastic wave in a bar from a pressure step (explicit). Source: d'Alembert's solution of the one-dimensional wave equation: c = √(E/ρ), particle velocity v = p/(ρc); Graff, Wave Motion in Elastic Solids, Dover 1991, §2.1. Tolerances — u_end: the end moves at the particle velocity p/(ρc) from the start; the discrete wave's ringing behind the front changes the end's displacement by well under 1%; v_mid: central differences ring behind a step front (dispersion); bulk viscosity damps it within a few elements, leaving about 1% twenty elements behind; balance: external work = kinetic + internal + dissipated energy; the solver warns above 1%
- **[bar-rigid-wall-impact](../tests/oracle/bar-rigid-wall-impact/)** (theory): Elastic bar striking a rigid wall (explicit). Source: One-dimensional elastic impact on a rigid wall: contact time 2L/c, rebound at the impact speed, contact stress ρcv₀; Graff, Wave Motion in Elastic Solids, Dover 1991, §2.3; Johnson, Impact Strength of Materials, Arnold 1972, §1.6. Tolerances — u_front: the contact ends at 2L/c in the elastic theory; the discrete release front is spread over a few elements, a few tenths of a percent of the time, and the rebound speed is v₀ to about 1%; u_back: as for the struck end; ke: an elastic impact keeps the kinetic energy; quadratic bulk viscosity in the compression front and the vibration left in the bar take about 1%
- **[cantilever-frequencies](../tests/oracle/cantilever-frequencies/)** (theory): Natural frequencies of a cantilever (Euler–Bernoulli). Source: Euler–Bernoulli beam: f_n = (β_n L)²/(2π L²)·√(EI/ρA), β₁L = 1.8751, β₂L = 4.6941; Timoshenko, Young and Weaver, Vibration Problems in Engineering, 4th ed., Wiley 1974, §5.3. Tolerances — f1: Euler–Bernoulli neglects shear and rotary inertia, which lower f1 by about 0.2% at L/h = 20; f1_pair: as f1: a square section bends alike in y and z; f2: shear and rotary inertia lower the second mode by about 1% at L/h = 20 (Timoshenko)
- **[cantilever-hex20](../tests/oracle/cantilever-hex20/)** (theory): Cantilever under a tip load, Timoshenko deflection (hex20). Source: Timoshenko and Gere, Mechanics of Materials (beam with shear deformation: δ = PL³/3EI + PL/κGA, κ = 5/6 for a rectangle); Cowper, J. Appl. Mech. 33 (1966) 335–340 for the shear coefficient. Tolerances — tip_uz: beam theory vs 3D elasticity: the shear coefficient and the fully clamped end change the tip deflection by a few tenths of a percent at L/h = 10; reaction: equilibrium holds to rounding
- **[cantilever-hex8-incompatible](../tests/oracle/cantilever-hex8-incompatible/)** (theory): Cantilever under a tip load, Timoshenko deflection (hex8-incompatible). Source: Timoshenko and Gere, Mechanics of Materials (beam with shear deformation: δ = PL³/3EI + PL/κGA, κ = 5/6 for a rectangle); Cowper, J. Appl. Mech. 33 (1966) 335–340 for the shear coefficient. Tolerances — tip_uz: beam theory vs 3D elasticity (a few tenths of a percent at L/h = 10); incompatible modes represent the bending exactly in the constant-moment part; reaction: equilibrium holds to rounding
- **[cantilever-tet10](../tests/oracle/cantilever-tet10/)** (theory): Cantilever under a tip load, Timoshenko deflection (tet10). Source: Timoshenko and Gere, Mechanics of Materials (beam with shear deformation: δ = PL³/3EI + PL/κGA, κ = 5/6 for a rectangle); Cowper, J. Appl. Mech. 33 (1966) 335–340 for the shear coefficient. Tolerances — tip_uz: beam theory vs 3D elasticity (a few tenths of a percent at L/h = 10); quadratic tetrahedra are converged on this mesh; reaction: equilibrium holds to rounding
- **[cdt-cylinder](../tests/oracle/cdt-cylinder/)** (theory): Constrained Delaunay mesh of a cylinder: volume within the chordal bound, valid elements. Source: mesh invariants: an inscribed polygon of sagitta s loses at most 2s/R of a circle's area (elementary geometry); constrained Delaunay tetrahedralization after Diazzi et al., ACM TOG 42(6) 2023. Tolerances — volume: the tessellation inscribes the cylinder within the chordal tolerance s = 0.05: the polygon section loses between 0 and 2s/R = 0.5% of the area; the reference is the middle of that band; invalid: every element of a valid mesh has positive volume
- **[cdt-stepped-block](../tests/oracle/cdt-stepped-block/)** (theory): Constrained Delaunay mesh of a stepped block: exact volume, valid elements. Source: mesh invariants: a tetrahedralization of a polyhedron fills its volume exactly (Si, TetGen paper ACM TOMS 41(2) 2015 for the definition of a CDT; Diazzi et al., ACM TOG 42(6) 2023); the volume is 60·40·10 + 40·40·10 + 20·40·10 − 10·10·10. Tolerances — volume: a planar boundary is tessellated exactly and the constrained Delaunay mesh fills it exactly: only rounding; invalid: every element of a valid mesh has positive volume; undetermined: a linear tetrahedron's sign is exact
- **[free-beam-frequencies](../tests/oracle/free-beam-frequencies/)** (theory): Natural frequencies of a free beam: rigid-body modes and the first bending mode. Source: Euler–Bernoulli free–free beam, β₁L = 4.7300; Timoshenko, Young and Weaver, Vibration Problems in Engineering, 4th ed., Wiley 1974, §5.3. Tolerances — rigid_6: a free body has six zero frequencies; numerical rigid-body frequencies below 10⁻³ of the first elastic one (eigenvalues below 10⁻⁶ of it) are rounding of the shifted solve; f7: Euler–Bernoulli neglects shear and rotary inertia, about 0.8% at L/h = 20 for the free–free mode; mass: the mass matrix integrates the density exactly
- **[j2-bauschinger](../tests/oracle/j2-bauschinger/)** (theory): Bauschinger effect of linear kinematic hardening: tension, then back to zero strain. Source: J2 plasticity with Prager's linear kinematic hardening in uniaxial stress (W. Prager, Ing.-Arch. 1955; Simo and Hughes, Computational Inelasticity, Springer 1998, §2.3): from σ_a = σ_y + E_t (ε_a − σ_y/E) the material unloads elastically by 2σ_y and then hardens with E_t, so at zero strain σ = σ_a − 2σ_y − E_t (ε_a − 2σ_y/E). Tolerances — residual_stress: a homogeneous small-strain state the element represents exactly, with increments that end at the load path's turn; isotropic hardening would give −281.835 (it yields again only at −σ_a); plastic_strain: (σ_a − σ_y)/H forward plus E/(E + H) (ε_a − 2σ_y/E) in reverse
- **[j2-heated-bar](../tests/oracle/j2-heated-bar/)** (theory): A steel bar held at its ends and heated past yield (small strain).

Tolerances — ux: a patch test is passed exactly: the tolerance only admits rounding; uy: a patch test is passed exactly: the tolerance only admits rounding; uz: a patch test is passed exactly: the tolerance only admits rounding; sxx: a patch test is passed exactly: the tolerance only admits rounding; syy: a patch test is passed exactly: the tolerance only admits rounding; szz: a patch test is passed exactly: the tolerance only admits rounding; sxy: a patch test is passed exactly: the tolerance only admits rounding (stresses of order 1)
- **[plastic-hinge-cantilever](../tests/oracle/plastic-hinge-cantilever/)** (theory): Plastic collapse of a cantilever: the fully plastic moment at the root. Source: Limit analysis (B. G. Neal, The Plastic Methods of Structural Analysis, 3rd ed., Chapman & Hall 1977, ch. 1–2): beam theory's plastic hinge at the root, the fully plastic moment M_p = σ_y b h²/4 of a rectangular section, collapses a cantilever of length L at P_c = M_p/L = 312.5 (b = h = 10, L = 200, σ_y = 250); a bound for the solid, whose collapse lies above it (W. Prager, P. G. Hodge, Theory of Perfectly Plastic Solids, Wiley 1951: a continuum mechanism allows no normal velocity jump, which the beam's hinge rotation is). Tolerances — collapse_force: the solid's collapse lies above beam theory's hinge: refined through the depth (4 to 8 elements) and along the length (40 to 160) the force settles 3.1 % above M_p/L (322.3), so the band is that bound's gap; the root is a symmetry plane (no rotation, free lateral contraction) held on average through a coupling, the tip pushed through another; reduced hex20, 20 × 2 × 4
- **[plastic-thick-cylinder](../tests/oracle/plastic-thick-cylinder/)** (theory): Elastic–perfectly plastic thick cylinder: plastic zone and collapse pressure. Source: Hill, The Mathematical Theory of Plasticity, Oxford 1950, ch. V §2: a von Mises cylinder in plane strain, elastically incompressible, with the plastic zone a ≤ r ≤ c under the pressure p = k (2 ln(c/a) + 1 − c²/b²), k = σ_y/√3, and the bore displacement u_a = k c²/(2 G a); collapse when c = b at p = 2k ln(b/a). Tolerances — u_bore: 20 reduced quad8 elements through the wall resolve the logarithmic plastic field and ν = 0.4999 stands in for Hill's incompressible elasticity (0.009 % apart); u_a ∝ c², so 0.2 % on u_a is 0.1 % on the plastic radius; collapse_force: once the wall is plastic through, perfect plasticity holds the force at the collapse value (σ_θ − σ_r = 2k everywhere, σ_z the mean of the others as plastic flow dominates); the band admits the quadrature of the logarithmic field
- **[pure-bending-coupling](../tests/oracle/pure-bending-coupling/)** (theory): Pure bending through a distributing coupling. Source: Euler–Bernoulli pure bending, σ = M_y z/I, θ = ML/(EI) (exact in elasticity for ν = 0); Timoshenko and Goodier, Theory of Elasticity, 3rd ed., 1970, §102. Tolerances — sigma_top: with ν = 0 pure bending is a quadratic displacement field that hex20 represents exactly; the coupling's nodal force pattern differs from the linear traction only within a depth or two of the end (Saint-Venant), five depths from the probe; rotation: the reference point follows the best-fit rigid motion of the end section, which the end zone's local deformation disturbs by well under 1%
- **[rotating-cylinder-axisymmetric](../tests/oracle/rotating-cylinder-axisymmetric/)** (theory): Long rotating solid cylinder, axisymmetric. Source: Timoshenko and Goodier, Theory of Elasticity, 3rd ed., McGraw-Hill 1970, §32 (long rotating cylinder, ε_z = 0). Tolerances — radial_axis: stress extrapolated to the axis, where σ_r = σ_θ: under 1% with sixteen quadratic elements across; hoop_rim: stress extrapolated to the surface: under 1%
- **[rotating-disc-plane-stress](../tests/oracle/rotating-disc-plane-stress/)** (theory): Rotating disc with a central hole, plane stress. Source: Timoshenko and Goodier, Theory of Elasticity, 3rd ed., McGraw-Hill 1970, §32 (rotating disc of uniform thickness with a hole). Tolerances — hoop_bore: stress extrapolated to the bore surface, where the a²b²/r² term is steepest: 16 radial quadratic elements graded towards the bore leave about 0.2% (8 uniform: −2.4%; 32 graded: −0.05%); radial_max: the nearest node to √(ab) is within half an element of it, where σ_r is stationary (an error of order (h/r)², under 0.5%), and nodal averaging adds a few tenths of a percent; hoop_rim: as at the bore
- **[scordelis-lo-roof-solid](../tests/oracle/scordelis-lo-roof-solid/)** (benchmark): Scordelis–Lo roof with one layer of hex20 reduced-integration solids. Source: MacNeal and Harder, 'A proposed standard set of problems to test finite element accuracy', Finite Elements in Analysis and Design 1 (1985) 3–20: Fig. 8 (p. 8) geometry, material and load; Table 5(a) (p. 11) reference displacement 0.3024; Belytschko et al., Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering 51 (1985) 221–258 (shell obstacle course). Tolerances — uz: MacNeal and Harder grade an element A within 2% of the theoretical value on this prescribed coarse mesh (p. 14); MacNeal and Harder normalise by 0.3024 (the deep-shell value quoted in their [5] is 0.3086), and a solid model of R/t = 100 differs from shell theory by O(t/R)
- **[tube-torsion-coupling](../tests/oracle/tube-torsion-coupling/)** (theory): Torsion of a tube through a kinematically coupled reference point. Source: Saint-Venant torsion of a circular tube, φ = TL/(GJ), τ = Tr/J with J = π(b⁴ − a⁴)/2; Timoshenko and Goodier, Theory of Elasticity, 3rd ed., 1970, §104. Tolerances — twist: Saint-Venant torsion of a circular tube is exact in elasticity; the rigid end coupling only stiffens a short zone near the tip; quadratic elements with 16 divisions around are within 0.1%; shear: stress extrapolated to the outer surface and averaged where two blocks meet: about 0.3% with four radial quadratic elements (two gave 1.1%)
