Solving Hyperleasticity: Correctly defining boundaries

3 years 5 months ago #3324 by bhaveshshrimali
Hi everyone,

I was trying to translate the hyperelasticity example from FEniCS to ngsolve, following the nonlinear elasticity tutorial, and Navier Stokes tutorial to implement homogenous and non-homogenous dirichlet boundary conditions on different parts of the boundary.

However, it seems that the boundary conditions are not getting assigned properly (looking at the GUI). Would anyone be able to help me pin down the error? You can see from the norm of the error, that it does not converge.
Code:
import netgen.gui from math import pi as myPi from ngsolve import * from netgen.csg import unit_cube mesh = Mesh(unit_cube.GenerateMesh(maxh=0.1)) V = VectorH1(mesh, order=1, dirichlet="left|right") u = GridFunction(V, str="u") u.vec[:] = 0. du, v = V.TnT() # material parameters and forces E, nu = 10.0, 0.3 mu = E / 2./(1+nu) lmbda = 2 * mu * nu/(1-2*nu) bodyForce = CoefficientFunction((0, -0.5, 0.)) # definition of the boundaries scale = 0.5 yo, zo = 0.5, 0.5 thta = myPi/3. uLeft = CoefficientFunction((0., 0., 0.)) uRight = CoefficientFunction(( 0., scale * (yo + (y - yo) * cos(thta) - (z - zo) * sin(thta) - y), scale * (zo + (y - yo) * sin(thta) + (z-zo) * cos(thta) - z) )) u.Set(uLeft, definedon=mesh.Boundaries("left")) u.Set(uRight, definedon=mesh.Boundaries("right")) # Define strain measures I = Id(mesh.dim) F = I + grad(du) I1 = Trace(F.trans * F) J = Det(F) psi = mu * (I1 - 3) - mu * log(J) + lmbda/2. * (J-1)**2 # definition of bilinear and linear forms a = BilinearForm(V, symmetric=False) a += Variation(psi.Compile() * dx) a += Variation((-1 * InnerProduct(bodyForce, du)).Compile() * dx) # create the residual and iteration vectors res = u.vec.CreateVector() w = u.vec.CreateVector() resNorm = 1.0 while resNorm > 1.e-8: a.Apply(u.vec, res) a.AssembleLinearization(u.vec) inv = a.mat.Inverse(V.FreeDofs()) w.data = inv * res resNorm = InnerProduct(w, res) print(f"Norm: {resNorm}") u.vec.data -= w Draw(u, mesh, "displacement") SetVisualization(deformation=True)


gives

u.Set(cf, definedon=...)
sets u to cf on the definedon part and to 0 everywhere else, set the boundary values like this:
Code:
u.Set(mesh.BoundaryCF({"left" : uLeft, "right" : uRight}), definedon=mesh.Boundaries("left|right"))

Thanks Christopher!

Is this a newer feature? NGSolve-6.2.1909 does not seem to have it. I will try updating NGSolve to the latest version and test it again...

Code:
AttributeError: 'ngsolve.comp.Mesh' object has no attribute 'BoundaryCF'

Ok this works with the newer version. But even with the newer version (NGSolve-6.2.2009), I get a diverging Newton.

I will take a look at implementing non-homogenous BC's more carefully.

After inspecting a bit more the location of the boundaries "left", "right", ... I noticed that the boundaries that I need (x=0 and x=1) correspond to "back" and "front". Indeed after replacing them accordingly and applying the boundary condition in steps, rather than at once, the solution seems to be reasonable till a point, and then it diverges:
Code:
for i in range(1, 11): factor.Set(i/10) u.Set(mesh.BoundaryCF({"back" : uLeft, "front" : uRight}), definedon=mesh.Boundaries("back|front")) print(i) resNorm = 1.0 iter = 0 while resNorm > 1.e-8 and iter < maxiters: a.Apply(u.vec, res) a.AssembleLinearization(u.vec) inv = a.mat.Inverse(V.FreeDofs()) w.data = inv * res resNorm = sqrt(abs(InnerProduct(w, w))) print(f"Norm: {resNorm}") u.vec.data -= w iter += 1 Draw(u, mesh, "displacement") SetVisualization(deformation=True)

I think, this is due to inaccurate approximation of the jacobian in automatic differentiation of the residual. I don't see any other reason on why Newton wouldn't converge after a point for this problem. I checked the deformation and it seems reasonable till the 6th loading step.

Hi bhaveshshrimali,

are you sure your material law is correct? For zero external forces and zero Dirichlet boundary condition the identity function is not the trivial solution. For the Neo-Hookean material law mu/2 should be the correct scaling for the first term:
Code:
psi = mu/2 * (I1 - 3) - mu * log(J) + lmbda/2. * (J-1)**2

By setting the boundary conditions for every loadstep you reset your solution rather than using the solution of the previous loadstep as starting point for the next one. I would suggest to set the boundary conditions only at the beginning:
Code:
u.Set(mesh.BoundaryCF({"back" : uLeft, "front" : uRight}), definedon=mesh.Boundaries("back|front")) for i in range(1, 11): factor.Set(i/10) ...

The boundary condition at the right boundary is quite large. As on the opposite boundary you have zero Dirichlet condition you can set them by
Code:
u.Set(x*uRight)
which will provide a better initial guess helping Newton to converge.

Best,
Michael
