New question #253425 on Yade: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/253425
Hi, I have a problem with stresses in YADE. I created a box and filled it with spheres as soil. Now I need to get a stress in Z direction (sigma Z) in different height. For this scope I found three ways in YADE. 1- bodyStressTensores(): Getting stress for each particle, then average particle's stresses that has almost equal height and then multiply it by (1-n). n is prosity. [1] 2- bodyStressTensores() and TesselationWrapper(): Using micro-stress method and then average particle's stress which are in almost same height. [2] 3- Force method: Export f(z) for each particle then sum forces in almost same height. Then divide it by area of the bottom box. I have done all of these methods but the results are not same. Which one is more realistic and reliable? Theoretical method is Gama* Z, but non of them are close to this value!
