Function Documentation

function [ lambda , mu ] = Compute_Lame	(		E,
			nu,
			alpha
	)

Computation of Lame coefficients from Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio.

Example

We consider the example of steel with plane strain hypothesis.

        Th=SquareMesh(10);
        E=2.1*1e11; nu=0.27; alpha=1;
        [lambda,mu]=Compute_Lame(E,nu,alpha);
        Num=0;
        K=StiffElasAssemblingP1base(Th.nq,Th.nme,Th.q,Th.me,Th.areas,lambda,mu,Num);

Parameters:

E	Young's modulus
nu	Poisson's ratio
alpha	parameter such that alpha=1 <=> plane strain, alpha=0 <=> plane stress

Return values:

lambda	First Lame coefficient in Hooke's law
mu	Second Lame coefficient in Hooke's law
