Re: [Getfem-users] boundary problem with elastostatic

[radames42]

Dear Yves,

 

many thanks for your reply. I agree with you, that I have to specify a Neuman boundary condition. AFAIK, it is normaly given by:

 

u_i,j * n_j = p1 * n_i on S_N  (Notation with Einstein summation convention)

or in weak form

int_S_N u_i,j * n_j * v_i= int_S_N p1 * n_i * v_i   for all test functions v

 

In my elastostatic problem I have

 

sigma_ij * n_j = (lambda * delta_ij * u_k,k + 2 * mu * (u_i,j + u_j,i)/2 ) * n_j = p1 * n_i on S_N1

 

where the unknown is the displacement vector field u. My problem is how to specify this boundary condition (in 3D)?

E.g. how do I get the normal of the face at given point of the mesh m?

If I use the (normal) source term brick, how does it know to use sigma_ij and not u_i,j?

 

I figured out, that I cannot use the coordinates x,y,z but need to use x[0], x[1], x[2] instead in m.eval("[...]").

I use the demo_tripod.py demo as my template.

 

As the equations are unreadable in my first email I repeat them here:

• e_ij = (u_i,j + u_j,i)/2              in V
• sigma_ij = lambda delta_ij epsilon_kk + 2 mu epsilon_ij       in V    with lambda, mu Lamé coefficient
• sigma_ij,j + b_j = 0                in V with b data
• u_i = w_i                              on S_D with w data
• sigma_ij n_j = p1 n_i             on S_N1 with p1 data and n the unit normal of the surface (face)
• sigma_ij n_j = p2 n_i             on S_N2 with p2 data and n the unit normal of the surface (face)

Somehow my mailer dropped the references I've read but probably not understand completly. Here they are
