[solidMechanics] Support thread for "Solid Mechanics Solvers added to OpenFOAM Extend"

Hello everyone,

I have a question, probably a stupid one because I'm just starting with foam-extend.

It it possible to extract the velocity of the solid in precise points when we run a fsi simulation?
I'll try to be more precise, when I run a simulation I have new files in the fluid folder with new pressure, velocity fields... but not in the solid one so how can I get these informations

Thanks,
Maxime

Hi Maxime,

Which solver are you using?

The solid fields are typically written to the time-steps in a sub-directory called "solid".

Hello, Phillip.

I am currently trying to implement the Mooney-Rivlin model and an exponential model based on the first invariant of the right Cauchy-Green deformation tensor in solids4foam. However, both of these models use material constants that do not relate to the Lamé constants of the neo-Hookean constitutive model, for example. So, in this case, how should I calculate the implicit stiffness for a specific model?

Based on a paper by Prof. Jasak regarding solvers for elasticity problems, I tried to extract the linear part of the complete equation when I replace the Cauchy stress expression in the governing equation and. hence, the coefficient of this Laplacian term would be the implicit stiffness. However, I am not sure if this is a theoretically correct procedure. Could you help me with this issue?

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Iago Lessa

Hi Iago,

The 'implicit stiffness' coefficient only affects convergence and does not affect the result (assuming the procedure converges), so I suggest you try set it to "2*mu" (twice the linearised shear modulus, or something similar) and see if it converges. You may need some field relaxation for the D field (or DD depending on the solid model).

Hey Philip, thanks for the quick response and the suggestion!

I tried with the "2*mu" and with "2*c01" (c01 is one of the material constants of the Mooney model I am using), however both procedures lead to divergence

I printed the determinant of the deformation gradient and it increases until divergence (since the initial iterations the Jacobian is negative and very high), even changing the relaxation.
I am currently reviewing the code and the equations of the model, but do you think that it could be caused by the highly non-linear behavior of this model?

Any help would be great

Thanks again and kind regards,
Iago

sigh... I wrote a reply and then the internet dropped when I clicked "post". OK, here I go again (when my clipboard now has my back covered):

All hyperelastic laws should reduce to linear elasticity when the strains are small, so I suggest you try a case with small strains. Keep the case simple with a simple orthogonal mesh.

Related to this is the traction boundaries, their implementation (in the tractionBoundarySnGrad function within a solid model) can also greatly affect convergence: you may need to use 2*mu there too.

For trying under-relaxation for the D field, make sure to try values as low as 0.1.

If your law is incompressible then how do you calculate the hydrostatic pressure? This could be causing the problem. I guess you need to solve a pressure equation, and then be careful of the boundary conditions. You may try a compressible form first to see if this is the issue.

Hello, I installed solids4foam but every tutorial crashes after few iterations. I joined the cavity tutorial log below.
I thought I just broke foam-extend-4.0 after replacing fvMesh.C, solution.C etc.. but the fe40 tuto works properly.

Any idea of what I missed here?
Thanks

All hyperelastic laws should reduce to linear elasticity when the strains are small, so I suggest you try a case with small strains. Keep the case simple with a simple orthogonal mesh.

Related to this is the traction boundaries, their implementation (in the tractionBoundarySnGrad function within a solid model) can also greatly affect convergence: you may need to use 2*mu there too.

For trying under-relaxation for the D field, make sure to try values as low as 0.1.

If your law is incompressible then how do you calculate the hydrostatic pressure? This could be causing the problem. I guess you need to solve a pressure equation, and then be careful of the boundary conditions. You may try a compressible form first to see if this is the issue.

Philip

Thank you for all the suggestions!

I will do that, they are pretty new to me, especially the one about the traction boundaries, i didn't know that the change must done for the tractionBoundarySnGrad function too.

Regarding the compressibility, I am modeling my problem as incompressible and the law I use is indicated to this case, but in the class implementation, I just changed the Cauchy stress tensor function without actually accounting for the hydrostatic pressure. So to include it i must also change the equation being solved, right? Because it will appear as a term in the Cauchy stress.

And just to be sure: an incompressible form of the law is one that do not depend on the third invariant of the deformation tensor?

I thought I just broke foam-extend-4.0 after replacing fvMesh.C, solution.C etc.. but the fe40 tuto works properly.

Any idea of what I missed here?
Thanks

Hi Lilian,

Apoligies, this is a temporary issue with the "master" branch: I will merge the fix from the development branch soon.

For now, please change to the "development" branch:

Code:

$> cd solids4foam-release
$> git checkout development
$> ./Allwclean
$> ./Allwmake

So to include it i must also change the equation being solved, right? Because it will appear as a term in the Cauchy stress.

And just to be sure: an incompressible form of the law is one that do not depend on the third invariant of the deformation tensor?

Hi iago,

The mechanical law should return the total Cauchy stress i.e. deviatoric term plus volumetric/dilatation/pressure term. Can you give a link to the form of law you are using? Be careful in case you are just using the definition of deviatoric stress (shape change) without the pressure contribution.

You may or may not need to solve an equation to get the pressure; there is probably no need to modify the solidModel as you could solve the equation within the mechanical law to get the pressure.

Hi Lilian,

I have pushed the fixes to the master now so try a fresh copy and see if it works:

Code:

$> git clone git@bitbucket.org:philip_cardiff/solids4foam-release.git
$> cd solids4foam-release
$> ./Allwmake

Then try the case. Hopefully, it should work.

Maybe this is the problem after all: I am really only considering the deviatoric part

I am using the following simplified form of the Mooney-Rivlin series expansion for an incompressible solid where the strain energy function, psi, is given by:

psi(I1,I2) = c10*(I1 - 3) + c01*(I2 - 3).

I got this expression from Belytschko's book: "Nonlinear Finite Elements for Continua and Structures", 2nd Ed, Eq. (5.4.60). However, reviewing the textbook, to account for the pressure part I should use a penalty parameter, right? Could you explain how this could be done in solids4Foam or, if possible, indicate a textbook where I could learn a little bit more about these kinds of methods? I am really new to this part of Solid Mechanics and its implementation details.

My intention was to try the above simpler form first and, then, explore a more complex form used to model aneurysms tissue:

psi(I1,I2) = c10*(I1 - 3) + c01*(I2 - 3) + c11*(I1 - 3)*(I2 - 3).

and others exponential constitutive laws.

Thanks very much in advance

Best regards,
iago

Hi iago,

Using a penalty parameter approach for an incompressible pressure term basically means assume the material is compressible and then use a large value for the bulk modulus (the bulk modulus is termed the penalty factor/stiffness in this case); as the bulk modulus is increased, the answer approaches the incompressible solution.

So, I suggest you use the pressure term from the implemented compressible neo-Hookean law:

Code:

// Calculate Jacobian
const volScalarField J = det(F());

// Calculate hydrostatic pressure
const volScalarField p = -(1.0/J)*(0.5*K_*(pow(J, 2) - 1)*I;

// Calculate total Cauchy stress (where 's' is the deviatoric stress that you already calculated):
sigma = s - p*I;

You can then try using a large value for K_ (bulk modulus) to approximate incompressibility; to begin with, I recommend you try a reasonable/compressible value for K_ as you will start to get pressure oscillations for large values for K_.

Best,
Philip

Hi everyone!

I have a question(or stupid question).

How do i know which constitutive law should be choosed?

If my problem is small strain, small deformation then I should use the linear constitutive law.

And if the problem is finite strain then need to use nonlinear constitutive law.

But is there a simple idea to choose the proper constitutive law?

Such like if the ratio of water depth to water length smaller than 1/20
(i.e h/L < 1/20)
then I can say this is a shallow water problem.

Hi Wu,

I would say that this is not a stupid question at all!

Generally, if the strains are less than or equal to 1% and the rotations (or each cell/element) are small (less than a few degrees), then the linear geometry (small strain) approach is probably fine, though in some cases it is fine to larger strains e.g. ~5%.

So if the linear geometry approach is OK, then you have to decide what material behaviour is most important i.e. what material are you modelling and what are you interested in? For example:

are plastic/permanent deformation important (not just if it will happen but how it happens), then you may need an elasto-plasticity law; you will then need to see what type of plasticity model is suitable for your material
are visco-elastic deformations important at the time-scales of interest then you may need a visco-elastic law.
most of the time linear elastic may be fine if it is the dominant deformation type and is the primary interest.

The same points also apply for finite/large strains, in that case, the constitutive laws can become more complex.

Feel free to describe your material and problem for me and others to give our thoughts.

Hello!

I have successfully compiled solids4foam before with foam-extend-4.1. However, I tried again in a new machine yesterday and it did not completely compile due to the following error:

Quote:

${WM_PROJECT_DIR}/foam-extend-4.1/src/foam/lnInclude/interpolationTable.C:543:17: error: attributes at the beginning of statement are ignored
[-Werror=attributes]
[[fallthrough]];
^

The weird part is that this error appears a lot in the log, but as a warning only (I attached the log file). Did this also happen with anyone?

I tried in Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04, with foam-extend-4.1.

Thanks a lot,
Iago

Hello Philip,

I have implemented a solver for neo-hookean material deformation. Now, I want to extend it for mooney-rivlin model. I was thinking of finding a relation between Elasticity (E) and mooney-rivlin constants. Is there any relation like this?

I have used B (left Cauchy-Green deformation) in my code. Do you think I can find Elasticity as a function of B which makes the material behave like mooeny-rivlin?

Hi Emad,

Many forms of Mooney-Rivlin laws can be found in the literature; for example of a compressible form, see equation 27 in the following paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...478?via%3Dihub.

Philip

Hi Iago,

Which compiler are you using? My guess is that these errors are related to you using "too new" a compiler. It should work with gcc 4, 5 and 6 (as well as relatively recent Intel compilers); I have not (yet) checked with later gcc versions.

Best,
Philip

OK, here I go again (when my clipboard now has my back covered): All hyperelastic laws should reduce to linear elasticity when the strains are small, so I suggest you try a case with small strains. Keep the case simple with a simple orthogonal mesh. Related to this is the traction boundaries, their implementation (in the tractionBoundarySnGrad function within a solid model) can also greatly affect convergence: you may need to use 2*mu there too. For trying under-relaxation for the D field, make sure to try values as low as 0.1. If your law is incompressible then how do you calculate the hydrostatic pressure? This could be causing the problem. I guess you need to solve a pressure equation, and then be careful of the boundary conditions. You may try a compressible form first to see if this is the issue. Philip ilhado likes this.
