ComputeStVenantKirchhoffStress

Stress update based on the first Piola-Kirchhoff stress

Overview

This class provides a hyperelastic St. Venant-Kirchhoff stress update defining the 2nd Piola-Kirchhoff stress as where is the Green-Lagrange strain and is an elasticity tensor calculated by a ComputeElasticityTensor object, with a name provided in the stress calculator input.

The model requires an isotropic elasticity tensor, as this is the only elasticity tensor that will lead to a truly hyperelastic model.

For small strains, when large_kinematics = false the model instead returns the standard linear elastic response, based on the elasticity tensor.

Figure 1 shows a typical material response under uniaxial stress. The plot shows the results in terms of the Cauchy stress and logarithmic strain to illustrate that the large deformation version of the model is in fact nonlinear.

  • computeTrueWhen false, MOOSE will not call compute methods on this material. The user must call computeProperties() after retrieving the MaterialBase via MaterialBasePropertyInterface::getMaterialBase(). Non-computed MaterialBases are not sorted for dependencies.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:When false, MOOSE will not call compute methods on this material. The user must call computeProperties() after retrieving the MaterialBase via MaterialBasePropertyInterface::getMaterialBase(). Non-computed MaterialBases are not sorted for dependencies.

  • constant_onNONEWhen ELEMENT, MOOSE will only call computeQpProperties() for the 0th quadrature point, and then copy that value to the other qps.When SUBDOMAIN, MOOSE will only call computeQpProperties() for the 0th quadrature point, and then copy that value to the other qps. Evaluations on element qps will be skipped

    Default:NONE

    C++ Type:MooseEnum

    Options:NONE, ELEMENT, SUBDOMAIN

    Controllable:No

    Description:When ELEMENT, MOOSE will only call computeQpProperties() for the 0th quadrature point, and then copy that value to the other qps.When SUBDOMAIN, MOOSE will only call computeQpProperties() for the 0th quadrature point, and then copy that value to the other qps. Evaluations on element qps will be skipped
