230 : Nonlinear Elasticity
This example computes the displacement field $u$ of the nonlinear elasticity problem
\[\begin{aligned} -\mathrm{div}(\mathbb{C} (\epsilon(u)-\epsilon_T)) & = 0 \quad \text{in } \Omega \end{aligned}\]
where an isotropic stress tensor $\mathbb{C}$ is applied to the nonlinear strain $\epsilon(u) := \frac{1}{2}(\nabla u + (\nabla u)^T + (\nabla u)^T \nabla u)$ and a misfit strain $\epsilon_T := \Delta T \alpha$ due to thermal load caused by temperature(s) $\Delta T$ and thermal expansion coefficients $\alpha$ (that may be different) in the two regions of the bimetal.
This example demonstrates how to setup a (parameter- and region-dependent) nonlinear expression and how to assign it to the problem description.
The computed solution for the default parameters looks like this:
