# Introduction

This repository is primarily meant for those researchers who want to dive into the FFT-based micro-mechanical solver. It contains several small, single-file, Python scripts which should lower the learning curve (see Ref. [[1]](http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.08893), which was written with this particular aim). These examples are formulated both in small strain (with linear and non-linear elastic, elasto-plastic, elasto-visco-plastic constitutive models; accompanying [[2]](http://arxiv.org/abs/1601.05970)), and finite strain (with hyper elastic and elasto-plastic constitutive models; accompanying [[1]](http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.08893)). The examples only depend on standard [Python](https://www.python.org) and its scientific libraries [NumPy](http://www.numpy.org) and [SciPy](https://www.scipy.org), which are freely available for all operating systems and are widely used. No custom software or libraries are used, i.e. there are **no hidden layers of complexity**.

Since different approaches exists for this type of numerical method, and since there are many styles and programming languages, **anyone is invited to contribute** by:

1. Uploading similar small, preferably single-file, examples for different materials, in different programming languages, or featuring different approaches.

2. Updating this document with the state-of-the-art: an overview of which literature and what approaches are 'on the market'.

Both are very welcome, as this field is rapidly growing.

# Examples

The examples are divided in three categories:

- [Basic methodology](#basic-methodology). These examples focus on accessibility while retaining some computational efficiency. **Great to get started.**

- [Different materials models](#different-materials-models). These examples focus on different constitutive relations (*which are completely uncoupled from the FFT-solver*). At the same time they are implemented more general and more efficiently than the examples that present the basic methodology.
- [Different materials models](#different-materials-models). These examples focus on different constitutive relations (*which are completely uncoupled from the FFT-solver*). At the same time, they are implemented more general and more efficiently than the examples that present the basic methodology.

- [Applications](#applications). These examples show just how powerful the FFT-solver can be, even with the very simple Python code. Also, they introduce the concept of 2-D plane strain.

## Basic methodology

* [`finite-strain/hyper-elasticity.py`](./finite-strain/hyper-elasticity.py) and [`finite-strain/hyper-elasticity-even.py`](./finite-strain/hyper-elasticity-even.py): the main example of Ref. [[1]](http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.08893) featuring a simple hyper-elastic model in finite strain. As described in Ref. [[1]](http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.08893) the projection operator is slightly different for even or odd grids, here in included in two files.

* [`small-strain/linear-elasticity.py`](./small-strain/linear-elasticity.py) and [`small-strain/linear-elasticity-even.py`](./small-strain/linear-elasticity-even.py). The small strain equivalent (linear) of the previous example. Notice that the projection operator is more involved, as the symmetry of the strain tensor has to enforced.
