Luc Scholtès posted a new comment:
Hi Anna,
I could not fin an email adress where to send you my script and some
explanations, so here is my code below. I guess you can copy-paste it
directly as a python script. Be careful, some things are maybe
deprecated for last versions of YADE. TranslationEngine is used but, as
told by Bruno, it is not mandatory and could/should be replaced by a
condition on the boxes velocity. I am not exactly happy with the way the
simulation is servo-controlled as is, but it works if the loading
parameters are well adjusted (this is where I should take some time to
generalize the simulation like it is done for the triaxial test or
"Jerome's engine"). Be sure to adapt it to the interaction law you are
using in the definition of the "InteractionLoop" (I use here a modified
version of one of the currently available law).
Briefly, here is the process:
- packing is imported from a predefined text file.
- a first box is appended at the top of the sample.
- normal loading is performed until the predefined value is reached.
- once equilibrium is reached, top and bottom half boxes of a "Casagrande box" are created
- the bottom box is then displaced at constant velocity
Do not hesitate if you have any questions.
Cheers
Luc
