 ChContinuumElastic (const ChContinuumElastic &other)
void SetYoungModulus (double E)
 Set the Young elastic modulus, in Pa (N/m^2), as the ratio of the uniaxial stress over the uniaxial strain, for hookean materials.
double GetYoungModulus () const
 Get the Young elastic modulus, in Pa (N/m^2).
void SetPoissonRatio (double v)
 Set the Poisson ratio, as v=-transverse_strain/axial_strain, so takes into account the 'squeezing' effect of materials that are pulled.
double GetPoissonRatio () const
 Get the Poisson ratio, as v=-transverse_strain/axial_strain.
void SetShearModulus (double G)
 Set the shear modulus G, in Pa (N/m^2).
double GetShearModulus () const
 Get the shear modulus G, in Pa (N/m^2).
double GetLameFirstParam () const
 Get Lamé first parameter (the second is shear modulus, so GetShearModulus() ).
double GetBulkModulus () const
 Get bulk modulus (increase of pressure for decrease of volume), in Pa.
double GetPWaveModulus () const
 Get P-wave modulus (if V=speed of propagation of a P-wave, then (M/density)=V^2 ).
void ComputeStressStrainMatrix ()
 Computes Elasticity matrix and stores the value in this->StressStrainMatrix Note: is performed every time you change a material parameter.
ChMatrixDynamicGetStressStrainMatrix ()
 Get the Elasticity matrix.
void ComputeElasticStress (ChStressTensor<> &stress, const ChStrainTensor<> &strain) const
 Compute elastic stress from elastic strain (using column tensors, in Voight notation).

void SetRayleighDampingAlpha (double alpha)
 Set the Rayleigh mass-proportional damping factor alpha, to build damping R as R=alpha*M + beta*K.
double GetRayleighDampingAlpha () const
 Set the Rayleigh mass-proportional damping factor alpha, in R=alpha*M + beta*K.
void SetRayleighDampingBeta (double beta)
 Set the Rayleigh stiffness-proportional damping factor beta, to build damping R as R=alpha*M + beta*K.
double GetRayleighDampingBeta () const
 Set the Rayleigh stiffness-proportional damping factor beta, in R=alpha*M + beta*K.

Member Function Documentation

◆ ArchiveIn()

void chrono::fea::ChContinuumElastic::ArchiveIn ( ChArchiveIn & archive_in)
overridevirtual

Reimplemented from chrono::fea::ChContinuumMaterial.

◆ ArchiveOut()

void chrono::fea::ChContinuumElastic::ArchiveOut ( ChArchiveOut & archive_out)
overridevirtual

Reimplemented from chrono::fea::ChContinuumMaterial.

◆ SetPoissonRatio()

void chrono::fea::ChContinuumElastic::SetPoissonRatio ( double v)

Set the Poisson ratio, as v=-transverse_strain/axial_strain, so takes into account the 'squeezing' effect of materials that are pulled.

Note: v=0.5 means perfectly incompressible material, that could give problems with some type of solvers. Setting v also changes G.

◆ SetShearModulus()

void chrono::fea::ChContinuumElastic::SetShearModulus ( double G)

Set the shear modulus G, in Pa (N/m^2).

Setting G also changes Poisson ratio v.
