Stable Orthotropic Materials Eurographics/ ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Computer Animation (2014) Vladlen Koltun and Eftychios Sifakis (Editors) Stable Orthotropic Materials Yijing Li and Jernej Barbicˇ University of Southern California, United States Abstract Isotropic Finite Element Method (FEM) deformable object simulations are widely used in computer graphics. Several applications (wood, plants, muscles) require modeling the directional dependence of the material elas- tic properties in three orthogonal directions. We investigate orthotropic materials, a special class of anisotropic materials where the shear stresses are decoupled from normal stresses. Orthotropic materials generalize trans- versely isotropic materials, by exhibiting different stiffnesses in three orthogonal directions. Orthotropic materials are, however, parameterized by nine values that are difficult to tune in practice, as poorly adjusted settings easily lead to simulation instabilities. We present a user-friendly approach to setting these parameters that is guaran- teed to be stable. Our approach is intuitive as it extends the familiar intuition known from isotropic materials. We demonstrate our technique by augmenting linear corotational FEM implementations with orthotropic materials.

  • Analysis of Deformation
    Chapter 7: Constitutive Equations Definition: In the previous chapters we’ve learned about the definition and meaning of the concepts of stress and strain. One is an objective measure of load and the other is an objective measure of deformation. In fluids, one talks about the rate-of-deformation as opposed to simply strain (i.e. deformation alone or by itself). We all know though that deformation is caused by loads (i.e. there must be a relationship between stress and strain). A relationship between stress and strain (or rate-of-deformation tensor) is simply called a “constitutive equation”. Below we will describe how such equations are formulated. Constitutive equations between stress and strain are normally written based on phenomenological (i.e. experimental) observations and some assumption(s) on the physical behavior or response of a material to loading. Such equations can and should always be tested against experimental observations. Although there is almost an infinite amount of different materials, leading one to conclude that there is an equivalently infinite amount of constitutive equations or relations that describe such materials behavior, it turns out that there are really three major equations that cover the behavior of a wide range of materials of applied interest. One equation describes stress and small strain in solids and called “Hooke’s law”. The other two equations describe the behavior of fluidic materials. Hookean Elastic Solid: We will start explaining these equations by considering Hooke’s law first. Hooke’s law simply states that the stress tensor is assumed to be linearly related to the strain tensor.

  • Crack Tip Elements and the J Integral
    EN234: Computational methods in Structural and Solid Mechanics Homework 3: Crack tip elements and the J-integral Due Wed Oct 7, 2015 School of Engineering Brown University The purpose of this homework is to help understand how to handle element interpolation functions and integration schemes in more detail, as well as to explore some applications of FEA to fracture mechanics. In this homework you will solve a simple linear elastic fracture mechanics problem. You might find it helpful to review some of the basic ideas and terminology associated with linear elastic fracture mechanics here (in particular, recall the definitions of stress intensity factor and the nature of crack-tip fields in elastic solids). Also check the relations between energy release rate and stress intensities, and the background on the J integral here. 1. One of the challenges in using finite elements to solve a problem with cracks is that the stress field at a crack tip is singular. Standard finite element interpolation functions are designed so that stresses remain finite a everywhere in the element. Various types of special b c ‘crack tip’ elements have been designed that 3L/4 incorporate the singularity. One way to produce a L/4 singularity (the method used in ABAQUS) is to mesh L the region just near the crack tip with 8 noded elements, with a special arrangement of nodal points: (i) Three of the nodes (nodes 1,4 and 8 in the figure) are connected together, and (ii) the mid-side nodes 2 and 7 are moved to the quarter-point location on the element side.

  • Cosmic Microwave Background
    1 29. Cosmic Microwave Background 29. Cosmic Microwave Background Revised August 2019 by D. Scott (U. of British Columbia) and G.F. Smoot (HKUST; Paris U.; UC Berkeley; LBNL). 29.1 Introduction The energy content in electromagnetic radiation from beyond our Galaxy is dominated by the cosmic microwave background (CMB), discovered in 1965 [1]. The spectrum of the CMB is well described by a blackbody function with T = 2.7255 K. This spectral form is a main supporting pillar of the hot Big Bang model for the Universe. The lack of any observed deviations from a 7 blackbody spectrum constrains physical processes over cosmic history at redshifts z ∼< 10 (see earlier versions of this review). Currently the key CMB observable is the angular variation in temperature (or intensity) corre- lations, and to a growing extent polarization [2–4]. Since the first detection of these anisotropies by the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite [5], there has been intense activity to map the sky at increasing levels of sensitivity and angular resolution by ground-based and balloon-borne measurements. These were joined in 2003 by the first results from NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP)[6], which were improved upon by analyses of data added every 2 years, culminating in the 9-year results [7]. In 2013 we had the first results [8] from the third generation CMB satellite, ESA’s Planck mission [9,10], which were enhanced by results from the 2015 Planck data release [11, 12], and then the final 2018 Planck data release [13, 14]. Additionally, CMB an- isotropies have been extended to smaller angular scales by ground-based experiments, particularly the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) [15] and the South Pole Telescope (SPT) [16].
