Precrack

Asked by Najm

Hi,

I want to put a precrack in my model. Currently, my model consists of 5 by 6 particles in the xy plane. Each particle is linked with its neighbouring particle. I want to zero out the bonds (a precrack) between particle 11 and 16, 12 and 17, and 13 and 18. How do I do this?

Thanks!

i.phys.isCohesive = False [1]

Where i is the interaction between two particles of interest (e.g. 11 and 16).

Also, if you are thinking about using smooth joint logic, then you would use [1].

Hey Robert,

Thanks for your help. I used i.phys.isCohesive = False; however, I noticed that the nodes are still bonded. I then made a funtion that removes the bond every iteration step. I check to see if the bond exisits by pressing the inspect button, then going to bodies, and syping in the element number to see whos attached to it. Can you have a look at my code and suggest a method that will permanently delete the bond between these specific spheres? I want to create a precrack.

Thank you sooo much!

I have used other methods such as:
O.interactions[4949,5048].phys.isBroken = True
O.interactions[5048,4949].phys.isBroken = True

O.interactions[4949,5048].phys.isCohesive = False
O.interactions[5048,4949].phys.isCohesive = False

But still I cannot confirm that the interaction between these nodes are zeroed. Can you suggest another method to zero-out the interaction between these selected particles?

Thanks!

> I noticed that the nodes are still bonded

How did you notice it, and what do you call exactly a "bond" ?

If a "bond" is a cohesive interaction (with eg a tensile threshold), Robert's answer should most probably do the trick.

If you call a "bond" any kind of interaction, whatever its local strength properties, then what you want is to delete interaction, probably.
O.interactions.erase(), see [*], might help, though a thorough understanding of YADE interaction logic would help for proper use.

PS: GUI inspector is great. Python functions such that O.interactions.has or O.interactions.withBody are even better ! See [*]

[*] https://yade-dem.org/doc/yade.wrapper.html#interactioncontainer
[**] https://yade-dem.org/doc/user.html#creating-interactions, at least

Robert Caulk (rcaulk) said : 		#6

To add to Jèrôme: isCohesive=False means there can be frictional contact, but not cohesive contact. The only time a bond will truly disappear is if the particles are not frictionally in contact with one another because they have moved normally away from one another (tensile break).

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Najm for more information if necessary.
