Twenty_Eight_Node_BrickUP is a 20-node hexahedral isoparametric element. The eight corner nodes have 4 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) each: DOFs 1 to 3 for solid displacement (u) and DOF 4 for fluid pressure (p). The other nodes have 3 DOFs each for solid displacement. This element is implemented for simulating dynamic response of solid-fluid fully coupled material, based on Biot's theory of porous medium. Please visit http://cyclic.ucsd.edu/opensees for examples.
OUTPUT INTERFACE:
Pore pressure can be recorded at an element node using OpenSees Node Recorder:
recorder Node <-file $fileName> <-time> <-node ($nod1 $nod2 …)> -dof 3 vel
See OpenSees command manual (McKenna and Fenves 2001) for nodal displacement, velocity, or acceleration recorders.
The valid queries to a Twenty_Eight_Node_BrickUP element when creating an ElementRecorder are 'force', 'stiffness', or 'material matNum matArg1 matArg2 ...', where matNum represents the material object at the corresponding integration point.
