New question #703434 on Yade: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/703434
Hello, I am currently reviewing several approaches to apply a Defined Load or Stress to my particle body. I want to compare the approach via TriaxialStressController (input value is the stress sigma=F/A) and via a displacement controlled settlement until a target stress is reached. In the example script [1] for an oedometer test, the force Fz on a wall body is used. This is determined via O.forces.f(plate.id)[2]. ([2] is the third axis and not reference no. 2). Unfortunately, it is not clear to me how to interpret the force Fz, since the wall body represents an infinite plane. A first thought was that the force Fz is a resultant concentrated load acting on the plate. If this is the case, would I just need to divide Fz by the load area to get the area-based stress (same input unit sigma as TriaxialStressController)? Alternatively, could the force Fz be an area load? How do I then proceed to calculate a stress from this?
