Finite Volume Solvers
|
|
|
|
The included solid mechanics solvers employ the finite volume method
|
|
(not finite elements) to numerically approximate the displacements
|
|
and stresses in solid bodies undergoing deformation.
|
|
|
|
The included solvers are suitable for small strain, small strain with
|
|
large rotations, large strain, cohesive zones, plasticity, thermal-
|
|
elasticity, visco-elasticity, gravity forces, fluid-structure
|
|
interactions, multi-material analyses and contact stress analysis.
|
|
|
|
A number of custom boundary conditions with full non-orthogonal correction
|
|
are including time-varying displacements and tractions, fixed rotations,
|
|
and fixed displacements with zero shear stress.
|
|
|
|
A number of people have contributed to the development of the solvers,
|
|
mainly within Alojz Ivankovic's research group. The main contributors are:
|
|
Aleksandar Karac, Zeljko Tukovic, Hrvoje Jasak, Philip Cardiff, Declan Carolan,
|
|
Michael Leonard and Valentine Kanyanta.
|
|
|
|
The solvers have been assembled and are maintained by Philip Cardiff,
|
|
University College Dublin.

Have fun.
