function [px,py,pmag]=drivingstress(md) %DRIVINGSTRESS - evaluates the driving stress % % The driving stress is computed according to the following formula: % driving stress= rho_ice*g*H*slope % % Usage: % [Fx,Fy,Fmag]=drivingstress(md) %Get slope [sx,sy,s]=slope(md); %Average thickness over elements thickness_bar=(md.geometry.thickness(md.mesh.elements(:,1))+md.geometry.thickness(md.mesh.elements(:,2))+md.geometry.thickness(md.mesh.elements(:,3)))/3; px=-md.materials.rho_ice*md.constants.g*thickness_bar.*sx; py=-md.materials.rho_ice*md.constants.g*thickness_bar.*sy; pmag=sqrt(px.^2+py.^2);
