applying sinusoidal loading under pre compressed state

Submitted by balamonica on Thu, 07/16/2020 - 13:19

Hello all,

I am trying to model a confined cylidrical box which consists of uniform particles. The particles have to be compressed to a stress of 100N and then under the stressed state, I have to apply sinusoidal load. I am using a mesh to represent the plate at the top. I use mesh/surface/stress/servo to apply the force 100N on to the particle. I cross checked the force by looking at the force values of the mesh plate.

I have problem when I have to apply a sinusoidal load over the precompressed state. I cant use move/mesh with the fix mesh/surface/stress/servo on. If I unfix the servo and introduce a mesh at the exact location obatained after pre compression, the forces in the new mesh is zero and not the precompressed value. How to handle this problem?

Kindly help.

How did you apply the sinusoidal force? I hace a similar problem.

Sicerly,
