Hello everyone, I would like to apply a traction boundary condition on the surface of a cantilever beam. Suppose I have a vector named *traction[dof_handler.n_dofs()**], *which gives the various traction on each dof. I implemented the boundary condition as follows:
for ( unsigned int i = 0; i < dofs_per_cell; ++i ) { const unsigned int component_i = fe. system_to_component_index( i ).first; for ( unsigned int face = 0; face < GeometryInfo<dim>:: faces_per_cell; ++face ) { if ( cell->face( face )->at_boundary() == true && cell-> face( face )->boundary_id() != 0 ) //boundary_id() == 0 means the Dirichlet boundary condition { fe_face_values.reinit( cell, face ); std::vector<unsigned int> local_face_dof_indices( dofs_per_face ); cell->face( face )->get_dof_indices( local_face_dof_indices ); assert( dofs_per_face == fe_face_values.n_quadrature_points * dim ); for ( unsigned int q = 0; q < fe_face_values. n_quadrature_points; ++q ) { cell_rhs( i ) += traction( local_face_dof_indices[q * dim + component_i] ) * fe_face_values.shape_value ( i, q ) * fe_face_values.JxW( q ); } } } } At present, I set the traction to be nonzero in only one of the surfaces of a cantilever beam to make quantitative comparison with the previous literature. However, the results do not seem to be correct. Another thing I would like to know is what this traction may mean in this code. Is this pressure or force? I would like to ask for some help from you about these two questions.
