SurfaceTraction.2d: SurfaceTraction.2d

In FEA: Finite Element Modeling for R

SurfaceTraction.2d

Description

Element Surface Traction - generates the column matrix for uniformly distributed surface traction. If surface traction is not present, assign SFTensile and SFShear a value of 0.

Usage

SurfaceTraction.2d(meshP, SFTensile, SFShear, Length, Thick, area)

Arguments

meshP	Matrix (2 x n) containing coordinate points of the mesh nodes.
SFTensile	Magnitude of tensile surface traction
SFShear	Magnitude of positive shear traction
Length	Truss length
Thick	Triangle element thickness
area	Triangle element area

Value

List of element matrices containing surface forces.

SurfT

List of surface forces for each element.

Examples

data(triMesh)
data(dime)

meshP = triMesh$MeshPts$p
SFShear = 0
SFTensile = 0
Thick = 0.001
Length = dime$TrussLength
area = dime$Area

SurfTrac = SurfaceTraction.2d(meshP, SFTensile, SFShear, Length, Thick, area)
