peridynamics / method lps

Hello,

       I study stress on a beam with lps method. I defined a sc organisation and the studied volume is a cube on one side lattice. I applied two linear movements on each extremity.
       I get negative value for the stress and values are too low compared to usual values. After a lot of searches, i didn´t succeed in solving this problem. Do you have any explanations ?

Thanks you for your consideration

It’s more likely that your problem setup or dynamics are wrong,
than that something is wrong with LAMMPS. No one is likely
to try and figure out what is wrong with your model, other than you.

Maybe, you are right but I created a similar file for the method PMB and I got logical results. I just changed the parameters of peri_coeff and peri_style with usual values, but it doesn´t work. Moreover, I tried to see the influence of each parameters on the simulation but I get logical results only with bulk and shear modulus with a power 16.

Thanks you for your consideration

Possibly Rezwan can offer an opinion.

Steve

make sure the units of material properties, stress etc are consistent (may be try other units like metal, real etc). also you may want to check your result in terms of force-displacement as well. timestep size is a factor too.

hope this helps.
