Description:Scalar field defining the macro gradient
ComputeHomogenizedLagrangianStrain
Sets the homogenization gradient as a material property from an auxiliary variable input gradient
Overview
This simple material is part of the Lagrangian kernel homogenization system. It extracts the values of the homogenization strain or deformation gradient from a ScalarVariable and defines the appropriate gradient tensor. The ComputeLagrangianStrain then adds this extra gradient to the deformation gradient calculated from the displacement field. The homogenization system documentation describes how the strain/gradient components are stored in the ScalarVariable.
The SolidMechanics/QuasiStatic can add this object automatically, which is the recommended way to set up homogenization constraints.
Example Input File Syntax
This example manually specifies the parameters required to initialize the object for a large deformation, 3D example. The important input parameters are macro_gradient, the name of the ScalarVariable, and large_kinematics which determines if the ScalarVariable holds a symmetric small strain tensor (false) or a non-symmetric displacement gradient (large).
