influencefactor_triangularstrip: Influence factor for stress under triangular load

In GJMeijer/soilmech: R functions and plots for Soil Mechanics teaching

Influence factor for stress under triangular load

Description

Calculates the influence factor for the total stress underneath a strip load, based on the position in normalised coordinates

Usage

influencefactor_triangularstrip(xB, zB, direction = "z", nu = 0.3)

Arguments

xB	x-coordinate, normalised by width of strip (array). 'xB = 0' is located where the triangle height is 0, and 'xB = 1' where the triangular load is at it maximum (just before it drops to zero after 'xB > 1')
zB	depth, normalised by width of strip (array)
direction	direction of stress increase. 'z' for vertical, 'x' for horizontal away from strip, 'y' for horizontal in direction of strip, and 'xz' for shear stress
nu	Posisson's ratio

Value

array with influence factors
