fedoo.constitutivelaw.BeamRectangular

class BeamRectangular(material, a, b=None, k=0.8333333333333334, name='', *, output_points=None, n_points=32)
__init__(material, a, b=None, k=0.8333333333333334, name='', *, output_points=None, n_points=32)

Properties for a beam with rectangular cross section.

Parameters:
  • material (ConstitutiveLaw name (str) or ConstitutiveLaw object) – Material Constitutive Law used to get the elastic modulus and shear modulus. The ConstitutiveLaw object should have attributes E and G that gives the young and the shear modulus (as fedoo.constitutivelaw.ElasticIsotrop).

  • a (scalar or arrays of gauss point values) – Dimension of the beam section along the local y axis.

  • b (scalar or arrays of gauss point values, optional) – Dimension of the beam section along the local z axis. If b is not specified, a square section is assumed.

  • k (scalar or arrays of gauss point values, default: 5/6) – Shear shape factor. If k=0 the beam use the bernoulli hypothesis. Default is set to 5/6 (usual value for rectangular beam).

  • name (str) – Name of the WeakForm.

Notes

The current beam formulation supports isotropic linear elastic materials only. Material orientations are ignored; the beam cross-section orientation is defined by the assembly element frame.

Methods

BeamRectangular.compute_linear_density()

BeamRectangular.compute_rotary_density()

Mass moments per unit length, using polar area inertia about x.

BeamRectangular.from_section_description(...)

Restore a recovery-only section without a material/solver registry.

BeamRectangular.get_all()

Return a dict with all the known ConstitutiveLaw (with a name).

BeamRectangular.get_beam_rigidity()

BeamRectangular.get_local_frame(assembly)

Current local basis rows in global coordinates, in Gauss-point order.

BeamRectangular.get_strain(assembly[, position])

Recover local kinematic section strain without elastic properties.

BeamRectangular.get_stress(assembly[, position])

Recover local stress at normalized points, defaulting to output_points.

BeamRectangular.initialize(assembly, pb)

Initialize the constitutive law for the current problem.

BeamRectangular.normalize_section_coordinates(...)

Inverse centroid-preserving map, including heterogeneous dimensions.

BeamRectangular.normalized_output_points([...])

Sampling coordinates; varying pipe radii may yield (points, 2, GP).

BeamRectangular.normalized_section_coordinates(...)

Map normalized (y,z) toward each bounding face about the centroid.

BeamRectangular.reset()

Reset the constitutive law.

BeamRectangular.sample_points([n_points])

Normalized section points; default to section-mesh nodes.

Yield physical points, broadcasting varying dimensions along beams.

BeamRectangular.section_bounds()

Physical bounding-box bounds relative to the section centroid.

BeamRectangular.section_coordinates(position)

Resolve normalized coordinates; scalar positions are ambiguous.

BeamRectangular.section_description()

Portable section schema; arrays retain their beam data association.

BeamRectangular.section_mesh([n_points])

Mesh in normalized centroid-relative (y,z) coordinates.

BeamRectangular.set_local_frame(local_frame)

Define the material coordinate frame.

BeamRectangular.set_start(assembly, pb)

Begin a new time iteration.

BeamRectangular.shear_stress(force_y, ...)

Parabolic Jourawski transverse-shear approximation.

BeamRectangular.to_start(assembly, pb)

Restart the current time iteration.

BeamRectangular.torsion_strain(twist, y, z)

Free-warping Saint-Venant engineering shear, using 128 harmonics.

BeamRectangular.torsion_stress(torque, y, z)
