I am trying to calculate the shear modulus of porous RVE (cylindrical void in x,y,z direction).
For now, I am using this formula;
Gxy = {(Sum of reaction force in x direction / Surface Area)} / {(Delta length x / Original length y)}
*USE, CALSRE
NSEL,S,LOC,X,LXMAX
*SET,RFORCE_Gxy,
FSUM,0,ALL
*GET,RFORCE_Gxy,FSUM,,ITEM,FY
Gxy =(-RFORCE_Gxy/(LYMAX*LZMAX))/(1/LYMAX)
But, the result is smaller than the correct answer.
If the surface area has a void, do I need to calculate the (surface area - void area)?
In that case, the answer is quiet similar with the correct answer.
Please give me some tips to solve this issue.
I am doing the same thing using the same approach.
The main difference is that my surface areas are not uniform (void area != constant) and therefore I am not getting the same results even when I use (surface area - void area).
Also, how to define the original length? should we use (surface length- void length)? noting that (void length!= constant)
