struct.geogrid.stress.confining

Syntax

f = struct.geogrid.stress.confining(p,inode)

Get the confining stress at node inode (inode ∈ {1, 2, 3}). A negative value is compression. The confining stress is the stress component acting perpendicular to the geogrid surface.

Returns:

f - confining stress

Arguments:

p - a pointer to a geogrid element

inode - node number in the element, inode ∈ {1, 2, 3}
