Use of the gsStructuralAnalysis module

The gsStructuralAnalysis module provides the following analysis tools:

  • gsStaticAnalysis        Requires (nonlinear) stiffness matrix and a right-hand side (residual for nonlinear). Simply solves Newton iterations.
  • gsModalSolver          Solves the vibration problem to find eigenfrequencies and mode shapes given linear mass and stiffness matrices.
  • gsBucklingSolver    Solves the a buckling eigenvalue problem given a solution u from a linear analysis, the linear stiffness matrix and the jacobian given u.
  • gsALMBase  Used for nonlinear buckling analysis (i.e. post buckling analysis). It includes arc-length schemes, extended arc-length methods and branch-switching methods.
  • gsAPALM  Parallel implementation of the arc-length method
  • gsTimeIntegrator        Solves the (nonlinear) second-order structural dynamics problem.

All the tools in the gsStructuralAnalysis structural mass matrices, (linear/nonlinear) siffness matrices and forcing vectors/jacobians. The nonlinear modules typically work with jacobians and residuals of the following form (example using gsThinShellAssembler):

  • Jacobian with solution u; K(u):
gsStructuralAnalysisOps<real_t>::Jacobian_t Jacobian = [&assembler,&mp_def](gsVector<real_t> const &x, gsSparseMatrix<real_t> & m)
{
    ThinShellAssemblerStatus status;
    assembler->constructSolution(x,mp_def);
    status = assembler->assembleMatrix(mp_def);
    m = assembler->matrix();
    return status == ThinShellAssemblerStatus::Success;
};
  • Residual with solution u; R(u):
// Function for the Residual
gsStructuralAnalysisOps<real_t>::Residual_t Residual = [&assembler,&mp_def](gsVector<real_t> const &x, gsVector<real_t> & result)
{
    ThinShellAssemblerStatus status;
    assembler->constructSolution(x,mp_def);
    status = assembler->assembleVector(mp_def);
    result = assembler->rhs();
    return status == ThinShellAssemblerStatus::Success;
};
  • Arc-Length method residual with solution u, load factor lambda and linear forcing vector F; R(u,\lambda,F):
gsStructuralAnalysisOps<real_t>::Residual_t Residual = [&assembler,&mp_def](gsVector<real_t> const &x, real_t lambda, gsVector<real_t> & result)
{
  ThinShellAssemblerStatus status;
  assembler.constructSolution(x,mp_def);
  assembler.assembleVector(mp_def);
  gsVector<T> Fint = -(assembler.rhs() - force);
  gsVector<T> result = Fint - lam * force;
  return status == ThinShellAssemblerStatus::Success;
};

Where the std::function types are the ones accepted by the gsStructuralAnalysis module. See the struct gsStructuralAnalysisOps in the file gsStructuralAnalysisTools/gsStructuralAnalysisTypes

Linear and nonlinear static analysis with gsStaticAnalysis

To use the gsStaticAnalysis class for a structural assembler (gsElasticityAssembler or gsThinShellAssembler), one simply performs the steps below.

Initialization of nonlinear solver
gsSparseMatrix<T>   matrix = any_assembler.function_for_StiffnessMatrix();
gsVector<T>         vector = any_assembler.function_for_rhs();
gsStaticNewton<T>   staticSolver(matrix,vector);
Initialization of nonlinear solver
gsSparseMatrix<T>   matrix = any_assembler.function_for_StiffnessMatrix();
gsVector<T>         vector = any_assembler.function_for_rhs();
Jacobian_t<T>       Jacobian = { your_jacobian };
Residual_t<T>       Residual = { your_residual };
gsStaticNewton<T>   staticSolver(matrix,vector,Jacobian,Residual); // see above documentation for definitions of Jacobian_t and Residual_t
General use
// get options
gsOptionList solverOptions = staticSolver.options();
// change some options
solverOptions.setInt("Verbose",1);
solverOptions.setInt("MaxIterations",10);
solverOptions.setReal("Tolerance",1e-6);
// set options
staticSolver.setOptions(solverOptions);

gsVector<T> solVector = staticSolver.solveNonlinear();

Linear buckling analysis with gsBucklingSolver

To use the gsBucklingSolver class for a structural assembler (gsElasticityAssembler or gsThinShellAssembler), one simply performs the following steps:

Jacobian_t<T>       Jacobian = { your_jacobian };
Residual_t<T>       Residual = { your_residual };
gsBucklingSolver<T> buckling(K_L,rhs,K_NL);

// computation using Eigen
buckling.compute();
// computation using gsSpectra for 10 buckling modes using a shift
buckling.computeSparse(shift,10);
// get results
gsMatrix<T> values = buckling.values();
gsMatrix<T> vectors = buckling.vectors();

Post-Buckling analysis using arc-length methods

The implementation includes the Riks Method, the (Consistent) Crisfield Method and a simple Load Control Method.

To use the gsALMBase class (here the derived gsALMCrisfield) for a structural assembler (gsElasticityAssembler or gsThinShellAssembler), one simply performs the following steps:

gsVector<T>         vector = any_assembler.function_for_rhs(); // this is the force of the linear system
Jacobian_t<T>       Jacobian = { your_jacobian };
ALResidual_t<T>     ALResidual = { your_arclenght_residual };
gsALMCrisfield<T> arclength(Jacobian, ALResidual, Force);

// example for setting options
arcLength.options().setInt("Method",method); // method 0: 1: 2: 3: 4:
arcLength.setLength(dL); // set arclength

arcLength.applyOptions();
arcLength.initialize();

for (index_t k=0; k<step; k++)
{
  gsInfo<<"Load step "<< k<<"\n";
  arcLength.step();
  arcLength.computeStability(quasiNewton);
  if (arcLength.stabilityChange())
  {
    gsInfo<<"Bifurcation spotted!"<<"\n";
    arcLength.computeSingularPoint(false);
    arcLength.switchBranch();
  }

  gsVector<T> solVector = arcLength.solutionU();
  T           LoadFactor = arcLength.solutionL();
}

Linear vibration analysis with gsModalAnalysis

To use the gsModalAnalysis class for a structural assembler (gsElasticityAssembler or gsThinShellAssembler), one simply performs the following steps:

gsSparseMatrix<T>   stif = any_assembler.function_for_StiffnessMatrix();
gsSparseMatrix<T>   mass = any_assembler.function_for_MassMatrix();
gsBucklingSolver<T> modal(stif,mass);

// computation using Eigen
modal.compute();
// computation using gsSpectra for 10 buckling modes using a shift
modal.computeSparse(shift,10);
// get results
gsMatrix<T> values = modal.values();
gsMatrix<T> vectors = modal.vectors();
