Stress analysis--BC's on non-planar surface
Hi there,
I'm having trouble figuring out a way to prescribe a stress condition on a non planar boundary. For example, if we consider the Plate With A Hole example from the documents and wish to prescribe a pressure condition of 10kPa pushing outward on the hole instead of the (planar) plate boundary, how can I actually do this? In particular, my problem arises from the fact that I cannot see how to employ the tractionDisplacement boundary condition to do this: Code:
right Thanks in advance for all help! |
pressure
Hi the.drizzle,
I am a newbie on OpenFOAM because I use it for 1 month. I use sometimes the solver solidEquilibriumDisplacementFoam and I think traction and pressure are in Pa, traction runs in the x,y, and z directions and pressure runs in the normal direction on the plane. Try this: hole { type tractionDisplacement; traction uniform ( 0 0 0 ); pressure uniform 10000; value uniform (0 0 0); } Good luck! :cool: I wait your results. Jeff. |
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the reply! I don't have my OF-equipped computer handy, but I don't think that will work--I think I already tried exactly that approach already. I think. Maybe not though, I will try again later today to be sure. It would make sense if it did work though, as the we have from the tutorial: Quote:

3 ways to model your exemple and not the same results

Hi the.drizzle,
Good to hear from you! As to model the traction of the right planar surface, I try three differents BC details with the exemple of the plateHole. Ont the first one, we applied a traction of 10000 Pa on the positive direction. Code:
right The second one: Code:
right I thought the pressure in on the opposite direction. That's why I try a last example on the other direction: Code:
right What's wrong :confused:? I don't know ... Please find attached the pics from my tests on OpenFOAM. See you, Jeff. |
A mistake from me :D

In the third example, I stop my atteinment at the first increment. That's why I haven't the same results as the first exemple :rolleyes:.
Please see the real result of the sigmaXX on the third one. It is the same as the first one. So, the pressure is like a traction if you apply it on the opposite direction. Now, I'm waiting your results on the hole. |
