Name

Lame (IsotropicRank4TensorLame) — Isotropic rank 4 tensor in terms of Lame coefficients.

Synopsis

IsotropicRank4TensorLame(lmbda, mu)

Details

  • Base class: IsotropicRank4Tensor
  • Parameters:

    lmbda
    Lambda. Type: A real number.
    mu
    Shear modulus. Type: A real number.

Description

IsotropicRank4TensorLame is a rank 4 tensor with isotropic symmetry, expressed in Lamé coefficients.

lmbda is the Lamé λ coefficient, which is equal to C12 . (The word lambda is a Python keyword, so it can't be used as a variable unless it's spelled wrong.)

mu is the Lamé μ coefficient, equal to the shear modulus, or (C11C12)/2 .
