acoustic stress in solids
Posted: 18 Apr 2011, 11:06
Hi,
I'm, thinking about modeling stress in solids generated by an ultrasonic source, but after doing some tutorials there are still some basic questions:
1) is it even possible to apply an acoustic load using the linear elasticity solver, or do I have to couple it with the Helmholtz(?)-solver?
2) and if I have to do so, are there any additional examples for the Helmholtz-solver (beside the one in the tutorial)?
I've recognized that there is only a little resonance on acoustics questions here, but I hope that you can help me anyway.
Thanks...
