The following PDF file describes The Problem, versions 18 through 21.
Problem description for TPV18 through TPV21.
These benchmarks explore plastic yielding with a branching fault, as shown in the following table.
| Benchmark | Dimension | Rupture Type | Material Properties |
| TPV18 | 3D | Right-lateral, releasing branch. | Linear elastic. |
| TPV19 | 3D | Right-lateral, releasing branch. | Drucker-Prager plastic. |
| TPV20 | 3D | Left-lateral, restraining branch. | Linear elastic. |
| TPV21 | 3D | Left-lateral, restraining branch. | Drucker-Prager plastic. |
