Question about strain of triaxial compression simulation
Hi,
I got a question about the engineering strain and logarithmic strain in triaxial compression test.
For example, for one model I have (in which the axial loading is along y-axis.), I got:
Before deviatoric loading, the position of top wall and bottom wall is (0.035,0.14,0.035) and (0.035,0,0.035) respectively (i.e., height of 0.14), and the triax.strain=
The final position of top wall and bottom wall is (0.035,0.12,0.035) and (0.035,0,0.035) respectively. The -triax.
So the engineering strain is (0.14-0.
However, since triax.strain returns the logarithmic strain, it means that the logarithmic strain is 0.15 in axial direction (y direction). And from [1], the corresponding engineering strain is exp(0.15)-1=0.16
My question is why the engineering strain obtained from the two ways are different from each other. Do I misunderstand something?
Thanks
Leonard
