Re: How to keep mean stress constant

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Hi Sayeed,
If s1, s2 and s3 are independently not constant, there is an infinity of values of s1, s2 and s3 leading to same mean pressure (e.g. 100 kPa). Thus you can perform such a control only if you impose additional conditions, for instance other relations to be verified between s1, s2 and s3 (for instance s1 + 5*s3 = 3*s2). But here the problem has nothing to do with Yade. You should precise your physical problem before trying to do something with Yade.

Dear Mr.  Vaclav, Luc and all, thanks for your good co-operation.
I want to keep mean stress constant where s1, s2 and s3 are independently not constant but there mean value (*s1+s2+s3)/3 = constant e.g . 100 Kpa*) remains constant though out the triaxial compression test. Actually I am in learning phase of YADE, so I hope your warm assistance to modify the engine if need. 

I am waiting for your better suggestion.

Thanks all

Sayeed, Saitama University.

    You can use the engine ThreeDtriaxialEngine, with this engine you can
    choose to keep constant separatly S1, S2 and S3 at different values,
    like
    that the mean stress will stay constant. Is it enough for you, or do you
    want to keep the mean stress constant while S1, S2 and S3 are
    independently not constant?

      Best,
