Re: [Getfem-users] How to calculate pressure/stress tensor from displacement in linear elasticity problems

[Yves Renard]

Dear Samyak,

There is no specific function for that, but you can use the interpolation facilities of the model object. You can see an example of use for instance in the demo_thermo_elasticity_electrical_coupling example which has a  python, Matlab, Scilab and C++ version. You can interpolate any _expression_. Be aware that the stress being discontinuous across the element edges/faces, the value will be averaged.

Regards,

Yves

Dear getfem-users,

I have started using getfem recently to work on few contact problems between elastic bodies. 

I am able to solve few simple cases and I am able to compute displacement (u) and Von-Mises/Tresca values on my mesh nodes.

The problem I am facing is that I have to calculate pressure at the mesh points and for that I believe I need the stress tensor values at these discrete mesh points. Could someone please guide me or tell me how to get the value of these variables. I went through the documentation and checked everywhere but I couldn't find a way to calculate stress tensor/pressure.

Thanks a lot.

Samyak
