chrono::fea::ChElasticityReissner Class Referenceabstract

Description

Base interface for elasticity of 6-field Reissner-Mindlin shells (kinematically-exact shell theory as in Witkowski et al.) to be used in a ChMaterialShellReissner.

Children classes must implement the ComputeStress function to get {n_u,n_v,m_u,m_v}=f({e_u,e_v,k_u,k_v}) Inherited materials do not define any thickness, which should be a property of the element or its layer(s) using this material.

◆ ComputeStiffnessMatrix()

void chrono::fea::ChElasticityReissner::ComputeStiffnessMatrix ( ChMatrixRef  mC,
const ChVector<> &  eps_u,
const ChVector<> &  eps_v,
const ChVector<> &  kur_u,
const ChVector<> &  kur_v,
const double  z_inf,
const double  z_sup,
const double  angle 
)
virtual

Compute the 12x12 stiffness matrix [Km] , that is [ds/de], the tangent of the constitutive relation stresses/strains.

By default, it is computed by backward differentiation from the ComputeStress() function, but inherited classes should better provide an analytical form, if possible.

Parameters
mCtangent matrix
eps_ustrains along u direction
eps_vstrains along v direction
kur_ucurvature along u direction
kur_vcurvature along v direction
z_inflayer lower z value (along thickness coord)
z_suplayer upper z value (along thickness coord)
anglelayer angle respect to x (if needed)

Reimplemented in chrono::fea::ChElasticityReissnerGeneric, chrono::fea::ChElasticityReissnerOrthotropic, and chrono::fea::ChElasticityReissnerIsothropic.

◆ ComputeStress()

virtual void chrono::fea::ChElasticityReissner::ComputeStress ( ChVector<> &  n_u,
ChVector<> &  n_v,
ChVector<> &  m_u,
ChVector<> &  m_v,
const ChVector<> &  eps_u,
const ChVector<> &  eps_v,
const ChVector<> &  kur_u,
const ChVector<> &  kur_v,
const double  z_inf,
const double  z_sup,
const double  angle 
)
pure virtual

Compute the generalized force and torque, given actual deformation and curvature.

This MUST be implemented by subclasses.

Parameters

n_vforces along v direction (per unit length)
m_utorques along u direction (per unit length)
m_vtorques along v direction (per unit length)
eps_ustrains along u direction
eps_vstrains along v direction
kur_ucurvature along u direction
kur_vcurvature along v direction
z_inflayer lower z value (along thickness coord)
z_suplayer upper z value (along thickness coord)
anglelayer angle respect to x (if needed)

Implemented in chrono::fea::ChElasticityReissnerGeneric, chrono::fea::ChElasticityReissnerOrthotropic, and chrono::fea::ChElasticityReissnerIsothropic.
