plastic deformation

Post by martinmasanes »

Dear all:
I want to know what's the diference between the element rotation obtained with the basicDeformation recorder and the rotation obtained with the plasticDeformation recorder?


Thanks

the 1st is total deformetion, the second is total minus the elastic portion estimated using the current forces and initial flexibility
V = Ve + Vp
Vp = V - Finitial * S (F flexibility matrix in local system at initial state, S current forces in local system(

// Plastic rotation
else if (responseID == 4) {
this->getInitialFlexibility(fe);
vp = crdTransf->getBasicTrialDisp();
vp.addMatrixVector(1.0, fe, Se, -1.0);
static Vector v0(3);
this->getInitialDeformations(v0);
vp.addVector(1.0, v0, -1.0);
return eleInfo.setVector(vp);
}
