Description:
This component is used in problems where the material parameters can soften (usually used with a yield rheology component). The name StrainWeakening is probably not appropriate. This component is mainly used in the following cases: to define an initial distribution of strain in a material; to calculate the accumulated strain on each particles. Since the material parameters are not softened inside that component, 'Strain' or 'AccumulatedStrain' or 'EquivalentAccumulatedPlasticStrain' may be more appropriate names.
Example:
Example:
Example:
Params
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| healingRate | Double | 0.0 | this value defines how the material is allowed to heal (should be between 0 and 1) |
| softeningStrain | Double | HUGE_VAL | this parameter is used in the following cases: If an initial random strain is defined, then the maximum value of initial strain is equal to softeningStrain*initialDamageFactor It is considered as a reference strain in a ratio used to soften the material parameters. This ratio is always between 0 and 1, and is set to 1 if the calculated strain is greater than softeningStrain (maximum softening allowed) |
| initialDamageFraction | Double | 0.0 | Defines the fraction of material whith an initial non zero random strain |
| initialDamageWavenumber | Double | -1.0 | This parameter is used to set the way the initial randomly oriented damage is distributed in space $\phi = \sin^2 k_I x_I$. The way the damage evolves often makes it a good idea to keep shear bands away from boundaries, especially where the mesh-stretching boundary condition is applied. In this case, make sure $k_I = n / L_I$ where $n$ is an integer, and $L_I$ is the length of the box in the $I$ direction. |
| initialDamageWavenumberJ | Double | -1.0 | This parameter is used to set the way the initial randomly oriented damage is distributed in space $\phi = \sin^2 k_J x_J$. The way the damage evolves often makes it a good idea to keep shear bands away from boundaries, especially where the mesh-stretching boundary condition is applied. In this case, make sure $k_J = n / L_J$ where $n$ is an integer, and $L_J$ is the length of the box in the $J$ direction. |
| initialDamageFactor | Double | 1.0 | The magnitude of the initial damage value applied to individual particles whose strain-weakening is controlled by this component. Note that the randomness of the damage is not in the magnitude of the value applied to each point but rather is a probability of the damage being applied at that point. (see softeningStrain parameter - it makes sense to set the initial damage normalized by the saturation strain) |
| randomSeed | Int | 0 | This parameter is used to initialise the random function used to define the initial random strain |
Dependencies
| Type | Essential | Description | Name | FallbackKey |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TimeIntegrator | Yes | This component is used to calculate postFailureWeakening variable (the actual accumulated strain) by integration (the derivative being defined by postFailureWeakeningIncrement variable) | ||
| MaterialPointsSwarm | Yes | This defines the set of material points. | ||
| Stg_Shape | No | If defined, the initial random strain will be prescibed inside this shape only (the initial strain will be zero outside the shape). |

Description:
A basic yielding model.
Example:
Equation:
Params
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cohesion | Double | 0.0 | This is the cohesion of the pristine material, without any strain softening. The effective cohesion is a linear interpolation between this value and the 'cohesionAfterSoftening' value. |
| cohesionAfterSoftening | Double | 0.0 | This is the cohesion of the material at maximum strain. The effective cohesion is a linear interpolation between this value and the 'cohesion' value. |
| minimumYieldStress | Double | 0.0 | This sets an absolute minimum for the value for the calculated yield stress (currently it looks like this value isn't used). |
| strainRateSoftening | Bool | False | This is a flag for the users to set whether they want to use a stress-strain rate relationship where the material weakens according to the strain-rate if it has yielded. (This functionality will be moved to another component. |
