3.14.3.3 The in-situ stretch update rule
The idea behind this update rule is to enforce the fiber stretch induced by the initial prestrain gradient. As with the in-situ stretch generator option, this rule has an isochoric version and an uniaxial version for the update rule.
where , is the fiber stretch induced by the distortion.
parameter | description | initial value |
isochoric | Choose the isochoric update rule or not | 1(=true) |
Example:
<constraint type="in-situ stretch"> <tolerance>0.01</tolerance> <isochoric>1</isochoric> </constraint>
