CONVERT A FORCE-DEFLECTION CURVE TO A ENGINEERING STRESS VS STRAIN CURVE BASED

Converts an engineering stress-strain curve to a force-deflection curve (or vice versa) using specimen gauge geometry. Provide the cross-section type and dimensions to scale between stress/strain and force/deflection domains. Use this worker when preparing material coupon data for LS-DYNA material card input or for comparing test-machine outputs with stress-strain characterisation results.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Eng Stress Strain eng_stress_strain vector   Input engineering stress-strain curve (vector of stress vs. strain pairs) to be converted to force-deflection; leave empty if the conversion direction is reversed.
Section Type sectiontype scalar rectangle   Cross-section shape at the gauge region — ‘rectangle’ (requires width and thickness) or ‘circular’ (requires radius); defaults to ‘rectangle’.
Length length float 1.0   Gauge length of the specimen in consistent model units (e.g. mm); used to convert strain to deflection — defaults to 1.0.
Width Or Radius widthorradius float 1.0   Width of a rectangular cross-section or radius of a circular cross-section at the gauge, in consistent model units (e.g. mm) — defaults to 1.0.
Thickness thickness float 1.0   Thickness of a rectangular cross-section at the gauge in consistent model units (e.g. mm); ignored for circular sections — defaults to 1.0.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
curve_engstressstrain_forcedeflection_output_1 curve_engstressstrain_forcedeflection_output_1 vector Resulting force-deflection curve (vector of force vs. displacement pairs) derived from the input engineering stress-strain curve and the supplied specimen geometry.
