Description

FEniCS/FEniCSx complete code for magnetic actuation on magnetorheological elastomers modelling the entire boundary value problem for the permanent magnet and electromagnet actuation setups.

 

The content includes two cases:

1. A simulation case where the magnetic actuation is imposed using a permanent magnet:

simulation_permanentmagnet_slender_fenics.py: python code for running the simulation; mesh_permanentmagnet_slender.msh and mesh_permanentmagnet_slender.geo: files related to the meshes of the domains.

2. A simulation case where the magnetic actuation is imposed using an electromagnet. The code is provided for both FEniCS and FEniCSx.

2.1.  FEniCS case. simulation_electromagnet_slender_fenics.py: python code for running the simulation; mesh_electromagnet_slender.msh and mesh_electromagnet_slender.geo: files related to the meshes of the domains.

2.2. FEniCSx case. simulation_electromagnet_slender_fenicsx.py: python code for running the simulation; mesh_electromagnet_slender.msh and mesh_electromagnet_slender.geo: files related to the meshes of the domains.
