A module for calculating the average nodal connectivity.

Details

class StructuralGT.average_nodal_connectivity.AverageNodalConnectivity(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: _Compute

A module for calculating the average nodal connectivity. Written separately because it is computationally very expensive, yet has been shown to correlate well with material properties.:cite:Vecchio2022

property average_nodal_connectivity

The nodal connectivity \(\kappa(i,j)\) , is the minimum number of edges that would need to be removed to disconnect nodes \(i\) and \(j\). The average nodal connectivity is the connectivity value averaged over all pairs of nodes:

\[\bar{\kappa} = 2\frac{\sum_{i \neq j}\kappa(i,j)}{N(N-1)}\]
