New question #681532 on Yade: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/681532
Good evening, I am considering using Yade for a project for which I need to simulate large pieces of ice breaking under certain forces. The idea is to start with a large polyhedron shape which breaks into smaller polyhedra under compression forces. This has been done with Yade before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjXvPLU92xQ&t=1s. If I understood correctly, two criteria to establish if the initial polyhedron breaks have been implemented before: the Mohr-Coulomb and MaxTau principles. In order to check where the crack starts in the initial polyhedron and in which direction it propagates, the algorithm should know what is the sigma-distribution along the body. So my questions are: - how does the algorithm decide in which point the material breaks and how the crack propagates in 3D? - What is the internal structure of the polygon? Is it made of spheres (in this case the sigma-forces would be given by the sphere-sphere contact forces)? Thank you and best regards, Damiana Catanoso -- You received this question notification because your team yade-users 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
