Compute Eigenstrain Beam From Variable

Computes an eigenstrain from a set of variables

Description

ComputeEigenstrainBeamFromVariable class takes in a set of 3 displacement or rotation variables or both and uses them to calculate the displacement and rotational beam eigenstrain in the global coordinate system. If either displacement or rotational aux variables are provided, they should be provided in all three global coordinate directions.

seed0The seed for the master random number generator
Default:0
C++ Type:unsigned int
Controllable:No

Outputs Parameters

(moose/modules/tensor_mechanics/test/tests/beam/eigenstrain/eigenstrain_from_var.i)

# Test for eigenstrain from variables

# A constant axial eigenstrain of 0.01 is applied to a beam of length
# 4 m. The beam is fixed at one end. The eigenstrain causes a change in
# length of 0.04 m irrespective of the material properties of the beam.
