hooke_large_displacement

Description

This behavior class provides classical linear elastic behavior with optional thermal deformation when total lagrangian elements are used. This behavior is identical in function to the linear_elastic except it performs the management for large deformation.

Syntax

***behavior linear_elastic [modifier] **elasticityELASTICTY [ **thermal_strainTHERMAL_STRAIN]

By default there is no thermal dilatation in the model.

Example

A simple definition corresponding to the first example for linear elastic follows:
