Elmer simulation
Posted: 22 Feb 2021, 17:23
Hello,
Im trying to simulate ultrasonic simulation with a wedge and a plate, by using the linear elastic solver. The idea is I would have the ultrasound probe as 'face partitions' into which the pulse is applied and displacements recorded afterwards.
The images are a slice from the centre of my model. Currently the sound does not pass from the "wedge" body to the "plate" body below (separated by the blue line). This is supposedly due to the boundary between the two bodies.
What im trying to achieve is that there would not be a boundary between the two bodies. Only the material needs to change between the two bodies, so Im interested if there is a way to apply different material properties to parts of the same body without having the boundary (only on body).
If this is not feasible then I would be glad on any help in how the boundary would be best defined. I Have also attached my sif for this case: Thank you for your time
