Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer: >So, can I conclude that in the case of a cylindrical sample composed of a random packing... Erm.. not really. If you change your question I may also change my answer... The problem is the cross sectional area of a random packing is less well defined than that of an organized column. But let's say you can define it. By "unbalanced force" on a facet I mean you mean just "force", correct? If so, ok. Micro-stress averaging on particles would be also ok but more tricky for a cylinder, because the boundary itself is not clearly defined (same problem for defining cross sectional area btw). I never expected bodyStressTensors() to give anything meaningful for a facet when I wrote it. If you read the doc you will see that the maths hardly apply to a flat zero-volume object. I have no idea what it would give to be honnest, but I'm sure it is irrelevant. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of yade-users, which is an answer contact for Yade. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
