mpoint.stress

Syntax

t = mpoint.stress(mp)

Get the mpoint stress tensor.

Returns:

t - stress tensor

Arguments:

mp - mpoint pointer

Stresses are expressed in the global system. Note that compressive stresses are negative.

Component Access

f = mpoint.stress.xx(mp)

Get the \(xx\)-value of the stress.

Returns:

f - \(xx\)-value of the stress tensor

Arguments:

mp - mpoint pointer

Access other tensor components (\(yy\), \(zz\), \(xy\), \(xz\), \(yz\)) by substituting the component name where \(xx\) appears above. \(xz\), \(yz\), and \(zz\) are 3D only.
