Dear getfem users, I would like to reuse the non linear elasticity brick to make a brick representing the behavior of non linear membranes. The idea is to apply the Cosserat hypothesis, which gives a simplified Green-Lagrange strain tensor.
The dimension of the vgrad term in the asm_nonlinear_elasticity_tangent_matrix function would be (:,2,3) iso (:,3,3) in the 3 dim brick, and I think I could reuse the function without modification. The elasticity_nonlinear_term, on the contrary, has to be adapted, but I do not see how to do it. Could anybody help me understand the logic behind the compute function ? here is how I understand it, please tell me where I am wrong (I am considering the Saint venant kirchoff hyperelastic law) 1.gradU is the gradient of the displacements, based on the preceding iteration displacements 2.E is the Green-Lagrange strain tensor, also based on the preceding iteration displacements 3.gradU becomes gadU+I ( deformation gradient iso displacement gradient ?) 4.tt is a tensor containing the rigidity coefficients Could somebody tell me what is done in the "version==0" loops ? I would greatly appreciate any help jean-yves heddebaut _______________________________________________ Getfem-users mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/getfem-users
