problem with the bc

Asked by Niraj Kumar Jha

I am facing problem while defining the bcs..
problem desp- I have a square domain which is fixed at the left side..
case I - I want to apply the external load *Neumann bc * at the node (1,1)
case- II - I want to apply the external load at the whole top boundary..
..
I have written a code after goin through manuals..but it does not work..please gv your suggestions

from dolfin import *

# Create classes for defining parts of the boundaries and the interior
# of the domain
class Left(SubDomain):
    def inside(self, x, on_boundary):
        return near(x[0], 0.0)

class Right(SubDomain):
    def inside(self, x, on_boundary):
        return near(x[0], 1.0)

class Bottom(SubDomain):
    def inside(self, x, on_boundary):
        return near(x[1], 0.0)

class Top(SubDomain):
    def inside(self, x, on_boundary):
        return near(x[1], 1.0)

class Obstacle(SubDomain):
    def inside(self, x, on_boundary):
        return ((x[1], (1.0)) and (x[0], (1.0)))

# Initialize sub-domain instances
left = Left()
top = Top()
right = Right()
bottom = Bottom()
obstacle = Obstacle()

# Create mesh and define function space
mesh = dolfin.UnitSquare(2, 2)

# Initialize mesh function for interior domains
domains = CellFunction("uint", mesh)
domains.set_all(0)
obstacle.mark(domains, 1)

# Initialize mesh function for boundary domains
boundaries = FacetFunction("uint", mesh)
boundaries.set_all(0)
left.mark(boundaries, 1)
top.mark(boundaries, 2)
right.mark(boundaries, 3)
bottom.mark(boundaries, 4)

# Define function space and basis functions

V = VectorFunctionSpace(mesh, "Lagrange", 1)
U = TrialFunction(V)
v = TestFunction(V)

# Define boundary conditions

bc = DirichletBC(V, 0.0, boundaries,1)

# Define new measures associated with the interior domains and exterior boundaries

dx = Measure("dx")[domains]
ds = Measure("ds")[boundaries]

# Define functions

v = TestFunction(V) # Test function
U = TrialFunction(V)

# Elasticity parameters
E, nu ,g_T= 10.0, 0.3, Constant("1.0")
mu, lmbda = Constant(E/(2*(1 + nu))), Constant(E*nu/((1 + nu)*(1 - 2*nu)))

def epsilon(v):return 0.5*(grad(v)+transpose(grad(v)))
def sigma(v):return 2*mu*epsilon(v)+lmbda*tr(epsilon(v))*Identity(V.cell().d)

# Define variational problem

a = inner(grad(v),sigma(U))*dx
L = - g_T*v*ds(2)

# Solve problem
U = Function(V)
solve(a == L, U, bc)

# Plot solution and mesh

# Hold plot
plot(U, interactive=True)
