solidDisplacementFoam linear? nonlinear?
2 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone,
I applied the solidDisplacementFoam to analyse a simple case, a plate (1m*1m*3mm) with four edges fixed ,and put a constant 10 Pa force on one of the remainder face, the other with 0 Pa(using tractionDisplacement BC). The geometry is in like picture "Selection_016.png". and I set the d2dt2Schemes under the fvSchemes dictionary Euler. The displacement of the point at center of the plate is like the "Selection_017.png". It seems that there is nonlinear factors in it. But the solidDisplacementFoam solver is a linear solver, I was really confused about this. Anybody can help me with this... I would appreciate it very much. Wishes, Xiaoxue The D dictionary is FoamFile { version 2.0; format ascii; class volVectorField; object D; } // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // dimensions [0 1 0 0 0 0 0]; internalField uniform (0 0 0); boundaryField { consoleFixed { type fixedValue; value uniform (0 0 0); } consoleSolid1 { type tractionDisplacement; traction uniform (0 0 0); pressure uniform 0; value uniform (0 0 0); } consoleSolid2 { type tractionDisplacement; traction uniform (0 0 0); pressure uniform 10; value uniform (0 0 0); } } // ************************************************** *********************** // |
Hi Xiaoxue Shen,
You are correct, solidDisplacementFoam assumes a linear analysis:
Why do you think you are getting nonlinear results? From your results for the displacement vs. time at the centre of the plate, the decay in the displacement amplitude suggests numerical dissipation: this is consistent with the use of a 1st order time integration scheme (backward Euler). If you would like to reduce this numerical dissipation, you can try the following:

Hi Philip,
Sorry to say thanks to you so late. Yes, as you say, after changing a smaller time-step,the dissipation disappeared. And I have to learn more about theories and methods, thanks for your work of solid mechanics and your helpful papers. Best wishes, Xiaoxue Shen |
