Hyperelasticity

Solve a compressible neo-Hookean model in 3D.

UFL form file

The UFL file is implemented in demo_hyperelasticity/hyperelasticity.py.

UFL form implemented in python

The first step is to define the variational problem at hand.

We are interested in solving for a discrete vector field in three dimensions, so first we need the appropriate finite element space and trial and test functions on this space:

from basix.ufl import element
from ufl import (
    Coefficient,
    Constant,
    FunctionSpace,
    Identity,
    Mesh,
    TestFunction,
    TrialFunction,
    derivative,
    det,
    diff,
    ds,
    dx,
    grad,
    inner,
    ln,
    tr,
    variable,
)

# Function spaces
e = element("Lagrange", "tetrahedron", 1, shape=(3,))
mesh = Mesh(e)
V = FunctionSpace(mesh, e)

# Trial and test functions
du = TrialFunction(V)  # Incremental displacement
v = TestFunction(V)  # Test function

Note that element with shape=(3,) creates a finite element space of vector fields.

Next, we will be needing functions for the boundary source B, the traction T and the displacement solution itself u:

# Functions
u = Coefficient(V)  # Displacement from previous iteration
B = Constant(mesh, shape=(3,))  # Body force per unit volume
T = Constant(mesh, shape=(3,))  # Traction force on the boundary

Now, we can define the kinematic quantities involved in the model:

# Kinematics
d = len(u)
I = Identity(d)  # Identity tensor  # noqa: E741
F = variable(I + grad(u))  # Deformation gradient
C = F.T * F  # Right Cauchy-Green tensor

# Invariants of deformation tensors
Ic = tr(C)
J = det(F)

Before defining the energy density and thus the total potential energy, it only remains to specify constants for the elasticity parameters:

# Elasticity parameters
E = 10.0
nu = 0.3
mu = E / (2 * (1 + nu))
lmbda = E * nu / ((1 + nu) * (1 - 2 * nu))

Both the first variation of the potential energy, and the Jacobian of the variation, can be automatically computed by a call to derivative:

# Stored strain energy density (compressible neo-Hookean model)
psi = (mu / 2) * (Ic - 3) - mu * ln(J) + (lmbda / 2) * (ln(J)) ** 2

# Total potential energy
Pi = psi * dx - inner(B, u) * dx - inner(T, u) * ds

# First variation of Pi (directional derivative about u in the direction
# of v)
F_form = derivative(Pi, u, v)

# Compute Jacobian of F
J_form = derivative(F_form, u, du)

# Compute Cauchy stress
sigma = (1 / J) * diff(psi, F) * F.T

forms = [F_form, J_form]
elements = [e]
expressions = [(sigma, [[0.25, 0.25, 0.25]])]
