Abstract
Olufsen et al., (2022). RECOLO: A Python package for the reconstruction of surface pressure loads from kinematic fields using the virtual fields method. Journal of Open Source Software, 7(71), 3980, https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.03980
Highlights
When pressure loads are imposed on a deformable structure, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) effects are known to cause non-trivial loading scenarios which are difficult to quantify (see e.g., (Aune et al, 2021))
This project aims at reconstructing the full-field surface pressure loads acting on a deforming structure employing the virtual fields method (VFM) on full-field kinematic measurements (Kaufmann et al, 2019)
To understand the capabilities and accuracy associated with the pressure reconstruction methodology, the package provides tools for performing virtual experiments based on analytical data or data from finite element simulations
Summary
In experimental mechanics, conducting non-intrusive measurements of surface pressure distributions acting on blast-loaded structures remains a challenge even in controlled, laboratory environments (see e.g., (Pannel et al, 2021)). When pressure loads are imposed on a deformable structure, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) effects are known to cause non-trivial loading scenarios which are difficult to quantify (see e.g., (Aune et al, 2021)). This project aims at reconstructing the full-field surface pressure loads acting on a deforming structure employing the virtual fields method (VFM) on full-field kinematic measurements (Kaufmann et al, 2019).
