Status: Answered = Open

Luc OGER is still having a problem:
I made several tests to see if putting some max_vel solved my problem,
it seems that it is not what I was expected.

but to understand more my queston, I have to described what I was looking for :
I want to look at the consequence at the anisotropy linked to the gravity 
deposition process. So my first step is doing a packing from spheres 
distributed randmoly inside big vertical box , letting them settling down, (in 
order to get a quasi cubic dense packing) putting the top wall at the upper 
point of the packing and then doing an isotropic compression by pressure 
control on all the walls but one by one. 
Indeed, the top wall starts with zero pressure and has to move alone to reach 
some pressure similar to the mean values of the others before moving the other 
walls. Otherwise I will reorganise too much the structure before compressing.

i hope my description is clear enough for the understanding.

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Felipe,

brief summary contact laws are at [1]. There is brief description,
publications and also names of example scripts you can look at. You can
also browse documentation [2], where are listed parameters you can use.
There are some derived from base classes which are not usually used (bases,
dict, updateAttrs) and some you can set/modify, specifically
for Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack [3]: neverErase, sphericalBodies.
Furthermore you can use some methods defined on this law, on the
example: elasticEnergy(), initPlasticDissipation(), plasticDissipation().
See examples for more details.

if you are new to Yade, I really recommend to read the introduction,
tutorial and user's manual, as cnatact law iteslf depends not only on law
functor, but also on used particle shapes, materials, igeom functors and
iphys functors..

cheers
Jan

PS: I am really not sure what how you construct in .py exactly means,
next time please be more specific to get answer earlier :-)

Question #264174 on Yade changed:

Status: Open = Answered

Chareyre proposed the following answer:
Hi,
The parameters in Material classes cannot be studied because they are
only numbers with names, not well defined physical parameters (suprising
maybe).
Better start thinking the other way around: look what kind of contact
parameters the law functors are using, then how this contact parameters
are defined based on material parameters.
You will see that different functors lead to different interpretations
of what Material::poisson is.
For Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys+ Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack
the normal force is independent of Poisson, yes. It is the expected
behavior.
I hope it helps.

2015-03-26 Thread Bruno Chareyre
Question #263739 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/263739

Status: Open = Answered

Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
Hello,
I don't understand exactly in which sense it is not what you expect. I suggest 
to forget max_vel, assign a very large value to it so that it does not 
interfere.

Trying to summarize what to do in your case (assuming
TriaxialStressCOntroller is labeled triax):

#stress control in all directions and for all boundaries independently
triax.stressMask = 7 
triax.internalCompaction=False

# if there is gravity, imposing the same stress at the top and bottom 
boundaries would lead to free fall... block the bottom wall:
triax.wall_bottom_activated=False

#define the target stresses to be applied, if it must be isotropic: 
triax.goal1=triax.goal2=triax.goal3=isoP
#then run
O.run()

This will reach the target isoP very quickly (a few iterations), in fact it 
could well result in a dynamic compaction at constant applied pressure 
(exception is if you impose a small max_vel).
If what you want is to increase the isotropic confinement progressively:
for k in range(N):
triax.goal1=triax.goal2=triax.goal3=isoP*float(k)/float(N)
   O.run(number,True)

The problem is the initial stress under gravity is not isotropic, for
superimposing an isotropic stress to the intitial anisotropic one,
better something like this:

#initialize with current stress
triax.goal1=triax.stress(0)[0]
triax.goal2=-triax.stress(3)[1]
triax.goal3=triax.stress(4)[2]
#and increase progressively
for k in range(N):
   triax.goal1+= isoP/float(N)
   triax.goal2+= isoP/float(N)
   triax.goal3+= isoP/float(N)
   O.run(number,True)

Luc OGER is still having a problem:
thanks for the fast reply.

I don't want to reach quickly the isotropic goal as some local
reorganisaiton for the contacts between spheres is part of my studies,
indeed the particles are frictionless which allow rotations and sliding
during the slow compression process.

so I guess that this solution (copy from your answer) will be the good one 
coupled with a small max_vel if the change of the triaxgoal loop only occurs 
when it is reached ?: Number effect  is unclear for me in this example :
If what you want is to increase the isotropic confinement progressively:
for k in range(N):
triax.goal1=triax.goal2=triax.goal3=isoP*float(k)/float(N)
   O.run(number,True)

Question #264174 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/264174

Hongyang Alex Cheng proposed the following answer:
Hi, Shenyang

Like Bruno said. you should take a look at the functors you use. The
contact springs are defined by the law2 and the Ip2 functors. The meaning
of Young's modulus and poisson ratio varies from different set of law2 and
lp2 functors in use (see linear contact and mindlin contact for instance).
If you use the linear contact law changing poisson ratio will only affect
the shear stiffness. Note that adjusting material constants doesn't have
effect on existing contacts.

 Hi Bruno,

 I'm still confused.  When two spheres are in contact, I suppose there
 must be a normal stifness and a shear stiffness(though it may equal
 zero) between them, regardless of the IPhys and Law functors.

 My idea is to change some parameters in the material class to enlarge
 the shear stiffness between the spheres. And I thought poisson is a
 factor. If changing poisson does not lead to the change of shear
 stiffness,  then what paremeters should I focus on to achieve my goal?


 Thanks!

Question #263739 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/263739

Status: Open = Answered

Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
coupled with a small max_vel

No need I think. For very smooth evolutions select a large N (10e4 or
so), in which case number can be 1 (the number of iterations between
each change of the applied pressure). Depends how close to equilibrium
you want to be (it will need a bit of trial-error probably).

In my experience there is an overhead when writing:
for k in range(100):
   O.run(1,1)

which makes things slower compared to (for instance)
for k in range(10):
   O.run(10,1)

That would be the only reason to use larger stress steps with more
iterations between them.
