Here is an example of MC applied to a large deformation nonlinear elasticity problem. The red face at the left end of the (steel) bar is fixed to a wall, and traction forces are applied to the light blue and white patches of the surface of the bar to give the bar a ``twist''. This is sort of like hitting the bar with two hammers at the same time, in not quite opposite directions. After building a finite element approximating system using simplex-based elements, MC solves the nonlinear algebraic system using a damped inexact Newton method, with some help from continuation (simple natural parameter in the forces). MC solves the linear systems at each Newton iteration with an unstructured algebraic multilevel method. ![]() ![]() Below are some images generated by MC for a range of problems.
