Description

This equation describes the mechanical properties of rigid bodies.

For info about the math of the equation, see the Elmer models manual, section Linear Elasticity.

Usage

  1. After adding an Elmer solver as described here, select it in the tree view.
  2. Now either use the toolbar button or the menu Solve → Elasticity equation.
  3. Change the equation's solver settings or the general solver settings if necessary.

Solver Settings

For the general solver settings, see the Elmer solver settings.

The elasticity equation provides these special settings:

  • DANECalculate Pangle: If the principal angles should be calculated.
  • DANECalculate Principal: If all stresses should be calculated.
  • DANECalculate Strains: If strains will be calculated. This will also calculate the stresses, even if DANECalculate Principal or DANECalculate Stresses is false.
  • DANECalculate Stresses: If stresses should be calculated. Compared to DANECalculate Principal the Tresca and the pincipal stress will not be calculated.
  • DANEConstant Bulk System: See the Elmer manual for more info.
  • DANEDisplace Mesh: If mesh can be deformed. This is by default true and must be set to false for eigenfrequency analyses.
  • DANEFix Displacement: If displacements or forces are set. thereby DANEModel Lumping is automatically used.
  • DANEGeometric Stiffness: Considers the geometric stiffness of the body.
  • DANEIncompressible: Computation of incompressible material in connection with viscoelastic Maxwell material and a custom DANEVariable.
  • DANEMaxwell Material: Compute the viscoelastic material model.
  • DANEModel Lumping: Uses model lumping.
  • DANEModel Lumping Filename: File to save the results from the model lumping.
  • DANEStability Analysis: If true DANEEigen Analysis becomes a stability analysis (buckling analysis). Otherwise a modal analysis is performed.
  • DANEUpdate Transient System: See the Elmer manual for more info.
  • DANEVariable: The variable for the elasticity equation. Only change this if DANEIncompressible is set to true in accordance to the Elmer manual.

Eigenvalues:

  • DANEEigen Analysis: If an eigen analysis should be performed (calculation of eigenmodes and eigenfrequencies).
  • DANEEigen System Complex: Should be true if the eigen system is complex. it must be false for a damped eigen value analyses.
  • DANEEigen System Compute Residuals: Computes residuals of the eigen value system.
  • DANEEigen System Damped: Set a damped eigen analysis. Can only be used if DANELinear Solver Type is Iterative.
  • DANEEigen System Select: Selection of which eigenvalues are computed. Note that the selection of Largest* cause an infinite run for recent Elmer (as of August 2022).
  • DANEEigen System Tolerance: Convergence tolerance for iterative eigensystem solve. The default is 100 times the DANELinear Tolerance.
  • DANEEigen System Values: The number of the highest eigenmode that should be calculated.

Equation:

  • DANEPlane Stress: Computes solution according to the plane stress situation. Applies only for 2D geometry.

Constraint Information

The elasticity equation takes the following constraints into account if they are set:

Note

For all above constraints it is important that they act on a face. Constraints set to lines or vertices are not recognized by the Elmer solver.

Eigenmode Analysis

To perform an eigenmode analysis (calculation if the eigenmodes and eigenfrequencies), you need to

  1. Set DANEEigen Analysis: to true
  2. Set DANEDisplace Mesh: to false
  3. Set DANEEigen System Values: to the highest number of eigenmodes you are interested in. The smaller this number the shorter the solver runtime since higher modes can be omitted from computation.
  4. Add a constraint fixed and set at least one face of the body as fixed.
  5. Run the solver.

Note: If you use more than one CPU core for the solver (introduced in version 1.0), you cannot use Umfpack, the only direct method for parallel solving is MUMPS.
Also note that iterative solving is not recommended for eigenmode analysis. Therefore either only use one CPU core or install the MUMPS module to Elmer.

Buckling Analysis

To perform a buckling analysis, you need to do the same as for an Eigenmode Analysis, and additionally:

  • Set DANEStability Analysis: to true

Results

The available results depend on the solver settings. If none of them was set to true, only the displacement is calculated. Otherwise also the corresponding results will be available. If DANEEigen Analysis was set to true all results will be available for every calculated eigenmode.

If DANEEigen Analysis was set to true, the eigenfrequencies are output at the end of the solver log in the solver dialog and also in the document SolverElmerOutput that will be created in the tree view after the solver has finished.

Note: The eigenmode displacement vector has an arbitrary value since the result is

whereas is the eigenvector and is a complex number.
