Models

The EasyFEA.Models module provides essential tools for creating and managing models. These models are used to build _Simu instances and mainly contain material parameters.

In the simulation workflow, Models is the third step: once the mesh exists, a model encapsulates the physics and material constants (Young’s modulus, thermal conductivity, fracture toughness, …) before being passed to the simulation constructor.

With this module, you can construct:

• Linear elastic materials, such as Isotropic, TransverselyIsotropic, Orthotropic, and Anisotropic, in Models.Elastic.

• Nonlinear hyperelastic materials, such as NeoHookean, CiarletGeymonat, MooneyRivlin, SaintVenantKirchhoff, and HolzapfelOgden, in Models.HyperElastic.

• Elastic beams with Isotropic, BeamStructure, in Models.Beam.

• Phase-field materials with PhaseField.

• Thermal materials with Thermal.

• Weak forms with WeakForms.

coord(x,y,z) = P • coord(i,j,k)

_Get_shear_correction_factor(axis: str = 'y') → float

Cowper’s (1966) shear correction factor k for the cross-section, evaluated at Poisson’s ratio ν = 0.

Used to populate self._ky / self._kz in __init__ — those attributes are what Isotropic.Get_D actually reads, so users can override them with any value (Pure Jouravski, a textbook table value, Cowper-with-ν=v, …) without touching this helper.

Computes k by solving one Saint-Venant Poisson problem on the 2-D section mesh:

∇²φ = -s in the section S ∂φ/∂n = 0 on the boundary ∂S

where s is the section coordinate along the shear direction: axis="y" → s = y (gives k_y, pairs with Iz) axis="z" → s = x (gives k_z, pairs with Iy). The rigid-body (constant) mode of the Neumann problem is fixed by clamping one node to 0; k below is translation-invariant.

Using the Neumann BC, the energy identity gives

uᵀ · f = ∫_S |∇φ|² dS = ∫_S s · φ dS

and Cowper at ν = 0 reduces to

k = I² / (A · uᵀ · f)

with I = Iz for axis=”y”, I = Iy for axis=”z”.

Reference values (any mesh size, any aspect ratio):

rectangle → 5/6 ≈ 0.8333 circle → 6/7 ≈ 0.8571 I-beam, hollow tube, channel, … → whatever the geometry yields

Note vs. the textbook “Pure Jouravski” value:

• The two formulas agree on the rectangle (both 5/6).

• For curved boundaries they differ: Pure Jouravski’s 1-D τ_yz = V·Q/(I·b), τ_xz = 0 assumption gives 9/10 for a circle; this Poisson PDE returns 6/7 because it accounts for the non-zero τ_xz that the curved boundary forces. 6/7 is the physically correct ν = 0 value (matches 3-D elasticity).

Cowper-with-ν ≠ 0 needs a different PDE (non-zero Neumann boundary term involving ν); not implemented here. If you need a specific k value other than Cowper-ν=0 — Pure Jouravski, Cowper-with-ν, a steel-table value — set beam._ky / beam._kz directly.

int_S z^2 dS

property Iz: float

int_S y^2 dS

property J: float

_ky

Shear correction factor for transverse shear in the beam’s y direction (paired with Iz bending in Isotropic.Get_D).

Populated in _Beam.__init__ with the Cowper-ν=0 value returned by _Get_shear_correction_factor("y"). Override directly to use a different k:

# Pure Jouravski (textbook): same as default for rectangle, 9/10 for circle beam._ky = 9 / 10

# Cowper-with-ν for a rectangular section (k = 10(1+ν)/(12+11ν)) beam._ky = 10 * (1 + beam.v) / (12 + 11 * beam.v)

# Cowper-with-ν for a circular section (k = 6(1+ν)/(7+6ν)) beam._ky = 6 * (1 + beam.v) / (7 + 6 * beam.v)

# Value from a steel-section table, etc. beam._ky = 0.49

_kz

Shear correction factor for transverse shear in the beam’s z direction (paired with Iy bending in Isotropic.Get_D). 3-D beams only — unused in 1-D / 2-D simulations.

Populated in _Beam.__init__ with the Cowper-ν=0 value returned by _Get_shear_correction_factor("z"). Override directly to use a different k — same Cowper-with-ν / Pure Jouravski / table-value patterns as _ky, just applied to the z direction (so e.g. for a rectangle bxh, the paired bending inertia is Iy = h·b³/12 and the formula factor refers to the b direction).
