tensormesh.material

Isotropic linear-elastic material model and a small set of preset instances used throughout the solid-mechanics examples.

IsotropicMaterial

class IsotropicMaterial(name: str, E: float, nu: float, rho: float, sigma_y: float = None, H: float = 0.0)

Bases: object

name: str

E: float

nu: float

rho: float

sigma_y: float = None

H: float = 0.0

property lame_params

__init__(name: str, E: float, nu: float, rho: float, sigma_y: float | None = None, H: float = 0.0) → None

Preset materials

The module also ships ready-to-use IsotropicMaterial instances with literature values. Import directly:

from tensormesh.material import Steel, Aluminum, Rubber, Glass
