CohesiveZoneMortarUserObjectAux

Description

The CohesiveZoneMortarUserObjectAux outputs various cohesive zone quantities that are helpful for analyzing or debugging cohesive zone or debonding simulation results. This auxiliary kernel is to be used in conjunction with mortar cohesive zone user objects, namely BilinearMixedModeCohesiveZoneModel.

Quantities that this object can output include: the cohesive zone model damage and the opening mode mixity ratio.

Input Parameters

  • cohesive_zone_quantityThe desired cohesive zone model quantity to output as an auxiliary variable.

    C++ Type:MooseEnum

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Options:mode_mixity_ratio, cohesive_damage, local_normal_jump, local_tangential_jump

    Controllable:No

    Description:The desired cohesive zone model quantity to output as an auxiliary variable.

  • user_objectThe mortar cohesive zone modeling user object to get values from. Note that the user object must implement the corresponding getter function.

    C++ Type:UserObjectName

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The mortar cohesive zone modeling user object to get values from. Note that the user object must implement the corresponding getter function.

  • variableThe name of the variable that this object applies to

    C++ Type:AuxVariableName

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The name of the variable that this object applies to

Required Parameters

  • blockThe list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied

    C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied

  • boundaryThe list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies

    C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies

  • check_boundary_restrictedTrueWhether to check for multiple element sides on the boundary in the case of a boundary restricted, element aux variable. Setting this to false will allow contribution to a single element's elemental value(s) from multiple boundary sides on the same element (example: when the restricted boundary exists on two or more sides of an element, such as at a corner of a mesh

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether to check for multiple element sides on the boundary in the case of a boundary restricted, element aux variable. Setting this to false will allow contribution to a single element's elemental value(s) from multiple boundary sides on the same element (example: when the restricted boundary exists on two or more sides of an element, such as at a corner of a mesh

  • prop_getter_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

    C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

  • use_interpolated_stateFalseFor the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:For the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.

Optional Parameters

  • control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

    C++ Type:std::vector<std::string>

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

  • enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:Yes

    Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.

  • seed0The seed for the master random number generator

    Default:0

    C++ Type:unsigned int

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The seed for the master random number generator

  • use_displaced_meshFalseWhether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.
