Example18 Material with Anisotropic Elasticity

General

  • Rutile has the anisotropic elasticity. The deformation under pressure is solved.
     

  • The displacement and the mechanical stress are also solved.
     

  • Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.

Model

A cubic solid body is created. The material is rutile which has the anisotropic elasticity.

The anisotropic axis is oriented to (1, 1, 1), which is set on the direction tab of the body attribute.

The compressive pressure is set by the outer boundary condition.

Vector: X=1.0, Y=1.0, Z=1.0

The matrix indicates that the 3-3 direction has the highest elasticity. Therefore, it is set to be (X, Y, Z)=(1, 1, 1).

Results

The vectors of displacement are shown below.

 

The displacement diagram is shown below. The contour diagram shows the displacement.

(X, Y, Z)=(1, 1, 1) exhibits the lowest compression displacement.

 

The vectors of internal mechanical stress are shown below.

The pressure is applied evenly, hence the internal stress is -1[MPa].
