Benchmark UP3

Uniaxial Extension (Anisotropic Case)

This is an extension of benchmark UP2 for the case of an arbitrary value of fiber angle 0≤β≤2  in case of the anisotropic Gent material. The uniaxial loading is set to value p1=-240 ⁢kPa.

Parameters

l = 1 ⁢ m z0 = 0.05 ⁢ m κ = 108 ⁢ Pa μ = 280709 ⁢ Pa Jm = 1.1575 μaniso = 26000 ⁢ Pa Jmaniso = 1.044

Theory

The theory yields two nonlinear algebraic equations, which are solved by means of the Newton method. For details see [Stembera, 2013].

FE Model

To discretize the bar we used 2×2×40=160 BRICK60 elements.
