fedoo.constitutivelaw.ShellHomogeneousNonLinear

class ShellHomogeneousNonLinear(material, thickness, n_thickness_points=5, k=1, name='')

Homogeneous shell integrated from nonlinear plane-stress material points.

The membrane and bending response is obtained by calling a private copy of material at Gauss–Legendre points through the thickness. The material must support the standard Fedoo "2Dstress" constitutive-law interface. Transverse shear retains the elastic Reissner–Mindlin treatment used by ShellHomogeneous.

This implementation is restricted to small-strain material laws. For plasticity (or any law needing a plane-stress return mapping) use a Simcoon law, e.g. fedoo.constitutivelaw.Simcoon("EPICP", props); the pedagogical ElastoPlasticity is 3D-only and does not support "2Dstress".

Parameters:

• material (ConstitutiveLaw or str) – Plane-stress-compatible material law or its registered name.

• thickness (float) – Shell thickness.

• n_thickness_points (int, default=5) – Number of Gauss–Legendre points through the thickness.

• k (float, default=1) – Transverse shear correction factor.

• name (str, optional) – Name of the shell constitutive law.
