Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hi,
Resulting force and displacement of YADE bodies can be respectively accessed
with :
- O.forces.f(yourBodyId), see [1,2]
- O.bodies [yourBodyId].state.displ(), assuming
O.bodies[yourBodyId].state.refPos was correctly initialized (this may be up to
you). See [3]
The "problem" is : in your uniaxial configuration using UniaxialStrainer engine
you do not have a single boundary element whose such variables would be
representative of the mechanics of the sample (there is no loading rigid platen)
Maybe you could use sum/average the above variables on all
UniaxialStrainer.posIds bodies but you have to check if this makes
sense.
Another possibility is to surround your numerical samples with e.g. YADE boxes
that would serve as rigid loading platens (2 surrounding boxes may be enough
for uniaxial conditions) as done in [Duriez2016] (see Fig. 3) from
https://yade-dem.org/doc/publications.html, and elsewhere. Then you could
directly use O.forces.f() and O.bodies[].state.displ()
A last possibility would be to re-derive with continuum mechanics the force and
displacement from the stress and strain quantities you already know ;-)
