Cook’s membrane example for nearly icompressible solid

B bar method

Considering a strain decomposition: $\mathbf\epsilon = \underbrace{\mathbf\epsilon- \frac{1}{3}(\epsilon:\mathbf I)}_{\text{deviatoric}}\I + \underbrace{\frac{1}{3}(\epsilon:\mathbf I)}_{\text{dilatational}} \I$. The idea of the B bar method is to use another quadrature rule to interpolate the dilatational part, which leads to a modified B matrix [1]:

$$ \bar\B = \underbrace{\B - \B^{\text{dil}}}_{\text{original B elements}}+ \underbrace{{\bar\B}^{\text{dil}}}_{\text{by another quadrature rule} } $$

There are several methods to form ${\bar\B}^{\text{dil}}$ such as selective integration, generalization of the mean-dilatation formulation. In the current OGS, we use the latter, which reads

$$ {\bar\B}^{\text{dil}} = \frac{\intD{\B^{\text{dil}}(\xi)}}{\intD{}} $$

Example

To verify the implementation of the B bar method, the so called Cook’s membrane is used as a benchmark. Illustrated in the following figure, this example simulates a tapered and swept panel of unit thickness. The left edge is clamped and the right edge is applied with a distributed shearing load $F$ = 100 N/mm. The plane strain condition is considered. This numerical model is exactly the same as that is presented in the paper by T. Elguedj et al [1,2].

Result

Vertical diplacement at the top point

The following figure shows that the convergence of the solutions obtained by using the B bar method follows the one presented in the paper by T. Elguedj et al [1]. However, the results obtained without the B bar method are quit far from the converged solution with the finest mesh.

The contour plots show that even with the coarsest mesh, the B bar method still gives reasonable stress result.
