How to do a uniaxial displacement along the x-axis and perform linear buckling analysis? [COMSOL]
How to do a uniaxial displacement along the x-axis and perform linear buckling analysis? [COMSOL]
(OP)
I have a working model, where a linear buckling analysis is done in "Study 2" for the unit cell as seen to the right.
I need to do a uniaxial displacement along the x-direction, and perform linear buckling analysis. A blue rectangle represent the unit cell seen above. So the "beam" will consist of 3x3 unit cells. It is fixed on the left and vertical displacement is restricted on both right and left side. Does anyone know how I could go about extending my model (Pic 1) to the illustration below (Pic 2)?
Ps. I have checked out application gallery, and there are linear buckling analysis applications, and uniaxial compression applications, but could not find both in one.

Also, you can use prescribed displacement as load in linear buckling analysis.

And based on all this, could I ask how to go about performing a nonlinear buckling analysis? - since the one I just did is a linear buckling analysis.

Nonlinear buckling analysis is performed as regular static simulation but with geometric nonlinearity enabled, Comsol doesn’t have any special procedures for that. But you may have to use the continuation solver and this requires some additional settings. Another issue is the definition of imperfections. However, there are some articles about that and examples on Comsol’s website.

Do you think its necessary to add anything in the blue circled area?
I have this sweep (k-values) already set, not sure if theyre related.
And when I run the study this way, is it correct to say we are investigating the influence of geometrical nonlinearity under finite deformation?

I think that you can call it this way.
