Re: [Question #700531]: Contacts in function getStress()

 

Question #700531 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/700531

Jérôme Duriez posted a new comment:
If one goes back to the analytical derivations of this "Love-Weber"
formula, one should see contacts with boundary bodies should probably
not be included at all. Since boundary bodies do not belong to the
material whose stress we want to compute.

It is somewhat discussed in
https://www.icevirtuallibrary.com/doi/10.1680/jgeot.15.P.113 (or
https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01868739), around Eq. (6) which
gives a stress expression that better accounts for boundary effects, in
my opinion.

(Not implemented in public YADE, at the moment)
