LOASH

Description

Constitutive law for loading plane membrane and shell elements:

  • Plane membrane element (MEM2D) ;
  • Thin plane shell elements (KIRSH) ;
  • Thick plane shell elements (MINDS).

The model

This law is used for mechanical analysis of membranes and shells, loaded by uniform pressure and shear, normal and tangential to the mid line $\xi$ at any moment.

Loading can be driven either by force multiplicator (MULTF) or displacement multiplicator (MULTD).

Meaning

SIG(1) = $p$ : Pressure (= $p_o$ * MULT)
> 0 according with $\eta$-coordinate of shell (membrane)
SIG(2) = $\tau$ : Shear (= $\tau_o$ * MULT)
> 0 according with $\xi$-coordinate of shell (membrane)
