What is incompressible solid?
Dear Colleagues,
In the literature two definitions of incompressible solid can be found. The first one is: Poisson's ratio =0.5, and the second is: the third invariant of the Cauchy-Green deformation tensor J=1. I wish to understand the connections between these two definitions. To me, here is something strange. Poisson's ratio relates strains to stresses,and J as the combination of strain tensor components, doesn't depend on Poisson's ratio. I'll be grateful to you, if you explain me how these two definitions are connected.
hello , in NGUYEN V 's 'An Object-Oriented approach to the Extended Finite Element Method with Applications to Fracture Mechanic
hello , in paper :An object-Oriented approach to the xfem with Appications to fracture mechanics, in page172, the matlab code :mshmlab.m.
when i run the code mshmlab.m , this problem occured:
???Maxmium recursion limit of 500 reached, when i set(0,'recursionlimit',N).N=5000. the matlab crashed,
how to address this issue?
