Description

Base interface for elasticity of thin shells (Kirchoff-Love shell theory, without shear effects) to be used in a ChMaterialShellKirchhoff.

Children classes must implement the ComputeStress function to get {n,m}=f({e,k}) that is per-unit-length forces/torques n_11,n22,n12,m_11,m_22,m_12 given the strains/curvatures e_11 e_22 e_12 k_11 k_22 k_12. 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::ChElasticityKirchhoff::ComputeStiffnessMatrix	(	ChMatrixRef	mC,
		const ChVector<> &	eps,
		const ChVector<> &	kur,
		const double	z_inf,
		const double	z_sup,
		const double	angle
	)

virtual

Compute the 6x6 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

mC	tangent matrix
eps	strains e_11, e_22, e_12
kur	curvature k_11, k_22, k_12
z_inf	layer lower z value (along thickness coord)
z_sup	layer upper z value (along thickness coord)
angle	layer angle respect to x (if needed)

Reimplemented in chrono::fea::ChElasticityKirchhoffGeneric, chrono::fea::ChElasticityKirchhoffOrthotropic, and chrono::fea::ChElasticityKirchhoffIsothropic.

◆ ComputeStress()

virtual void chrono::fea::ChElasticityKirchhoff::ComputeStress	(	ChVector<> &	n,
		ChVector<> &	m,
		const ChVector<> &	eps,
		const ChVector<> &	kur,
		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	forces n_11, n_22, n_12 (per unit length)
m	torques m_11, m_22, m_12 (per unit length)
eps	strains e_11, e_22, e_12
kur	curvature k_11, k_22, k_12
z_inf	layer lower z value (along thickness coord)
z_sup	layer upper z value (along thickness coord)
angle	layer angle respect to x (if needed)

Implemented in chrono::fea::ChElasticityKirchhoffGeneric, chrono::fea::ChElasticityKirchhoffOrthotropic, and chrono::fea::ChElasticityKirchhoffIsothropic.
