Initialization of sympy symbolic tool and pint for dimension analysis (not really implemented rn as not directly compatible with sympy)



In [3]:

    
ureg = UnitRegistry()
sympy.init_printing()

Define sympy parameters used for geometric description of sections



In [4]:

    
A, A0, t, t0, a, b, h, L = sympy.symbols('A A_0 t t_0 a b h L', positive=True)

We also define numerical values for each symbol in order to plot scaled section and perform calculations



In [5]:

    
values = [(A, 400 * ureg.millimeter**2),(A0, 250  * ureg.millimeter**2),(a, 400 * ureg.millimeter), \
          (b, 300 * ureg.millimeter),(h, 150 * ureg.millimeter),(L, 650 * ureg.millimeter),(t, 3 * ureg.millimeter)]
datav = [(v[0],v[1].magnitude) for v in values]

Multiconnected Section

Define graph describing the section:

1) stringers are nodes with parameters:

x coordinate
y coordinate
Area

2) panels are oriented edges with parameters:

thickness
lenght which is automatically calculated



In [7]:

    
stringers = {1:[(4*a,2*a),A],
             2:[(a,2*a),A],
             3:[(sympy.Integer(0),a),A],
             4:[(a,sympy.Integer(0)),A],
             5:[(2*a,a),A],
             6:[(4*a,sympy.Integer(0)),A]}

panels = {(1,2):t,
          (2,3):t,
          (3,4):t,
          (4,5):t,
          (5,2):t,
          (4,6):t,
          (6,1):t}

Define section and perform first calculations



In [8]:

    
S3 = Section(stringers, panels)

As we need to compute $x_{sc}$, we have to perform

$$A \cdot q_{ext} = T$$

where:

A is a matrix with number of nodes + number of loops rows and number of edges +1 columns (it is square)
q is a column vector of unknowns: #edges fluxes and shear center coordinate
T is the vector of known terms: $-\frac{T_y}{J_x} \cdot S_{x_i}$ or $-\frac{T_x}{J_y} \cdot S_{y_i}$ for n-1 nodes and the rest are 0
