zero pivot problem in 3d vcct delamination modeling

Submitted by x.yun on

Dear all,

I'm trying to modeling an 3d Mode I delamination problem using VCCT method. C3DR8 element is used thereby. Every time after submitting the job it warned me with that "Solver problem: zero pivot...". I assume it may be caused by over-constraint, but I can't find where  I exactly goes wrong. I've uploaded the .inp file. Could anyone can give me a hand? Thanks a lot.

determination of stiffness matrix of transversely isotropic material

Submitted by yzhou on

Dear all, I am an applied mathematician and I  have been stucked by the this general question for a while, i.e.,  to determine the stiffness matrix of transversely isotropic material from known strain and stress tensors.  The definition of transversely isotropic tells us that the stiffness matrix can be defined by 5 constants, see attached figure. C44 is easy to determine, so we can focus on the remaining 4 constants. I attempted to establish 4 linear equations for these 4 constants with the known strain and stress components.
