Drucker Prager Plasticity model

Submitted by setareh on

Hi All,

I am trying to code the Drucker prager plasticity model for the 2D plane strain case using consistent tangent modulus. I am using C++, therefore I would appreciate if anyone could share relevant materials which I could use and preferrably for the 2D case so it is not unnecessarily complicated.

 

Modernizing your old c++ code

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

Continuing yesterday's thread on new C++ productivity tools, here's another one on using clang-tidy to modernize your code automatically to C++11/14. Life becomes markedly easier after the code has been updated.  Check out my post at http://www.parresianz.com/c++/clang-tidy/ to see how I've integrated clang-tidy into my toolchain.

Formatting your C++ code

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

Some of you may be involved in computational work where your students develop C++ codes.  If the code is formatted well it's easier to read and understand.  With the creation of clang-format, the job of formatting (and not just indentation) can now be automated to a great extent.  For a few pointers on how-to, check out my post at http://www.parresianz.com/c++/clang-format/.
