UpdatedLagrangianStressDivergence

Enforce equilibrium with an updated Lagrangian formulation in Cartesian coordinates.

Description

The UpdatedLagrangianStressDivergence kernel calculates the stress equilibrium residual in the current configuration using the cauchy_stress (the Cauchy stress). This kernel provides the residual for Cartesian coordinates and the user needs to add one kernel for each dimension of the problem. Alternatively, the SolidMechanics/QuasiStatic simplifies the process of adding the required kernels and setting up the input parameters.

Residual, Jacobian, and stabilization

For large deformation kinematics the kernel applies the residual with the corresponding Jacobian where is the Cauchy stress, with the incremental spatial velocity gradient, are the test function gradients (with respect to the current coordinates) and with the discrete (nodal) displacements. For the unstabilized case with the trial function gradients with respect to the current coordinates.

The residual and Jacobian degenerate to and for the small deformation case, with the small stress, with the small strain and for the unstabilized case. The large_kinematics flag controls the kinematic theory. For this kernel use_displaced_mesh must be set to true if large_kinematics is true so that the volume integrals and gradients are with respect to the current coordinates.

For the Jacobian the small deformation term and the large deformation term are identical (assuming the incremental deformation gradient is the identity and the deformation gradient degenerates to the small strain for the small deformation case) and involve the constitutive model. These are then called the "material" part of the Jacobian. The remaining large deformation term involves the current stress and the updated geometry and so it is called the "geometric" part of the Jacobian.

The constitutive model needs to provide the Cauchy stress and the derivative of that stress with respect to the increment in the spatial velocity gradient. However, the material system provides a common interface to define the constitutive model with any stress and strain measures that are convenient, translating the user-defined stress and Jacobian to the correct form automatically. Note that if the model is rotationally invariant then where is the increment in the material deformation rate, equal to the increment in the logarithmic strain Freed (2014).

The kernel is compatible with the modification of the strains to stabilize the problem for incompressible or nearly incompressible deformation. This form of stabilization does not modify the residual equation, though the modified strain does change the constitutive model stress update. The strain modification does affect the Jacobian by altering the definition of the gradient tensors. With the modified strains applied these become for small deformations with and for large deformations with and the average deformation gradient, defined in the stabilization system documentation. Note this is a somewhat unusual integral for an updated Lagrangian model, but it follows to keep the derivative term consistent with the modification to the strains. The stabilize_strain flag controls if the kernel modifies the Jacobian to account for the stabilized strains.

use_displaced_mesh

The UpdatedLagrangianStressDivergence kernel is the only object in the new, Lagrangian Solid Mechanics system that requires use_displaced_mesh to be set. The use_displaced_mesh flag should be set to true if and only if large_kinematics is also true. The kernel enforces this condition with an error.
