cerruti_kernel — DRIVE tacslip op

• Data kinds: scalar × scalar × scalar × scalar → table

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.cerruti_kernel(n: 'int', pitch: 'float', G: 'float', nu: 'float', sub: 'int' = 4, with_uz: 'bool' = False) -> 'dict' (to call the implementation directly, import tacslip; tacslip.cerruti_kernel(n: 'int', pitch: 'float', G: 'float', nu: 'float', sub: 'int' = 4, with_uz: 'bool' = False) -> 'dict'; from the registry, opsdrive.get("cerruti_kernel"))

Usage

Builds the discrete kernel of the surface displacement produced by an x-directed tangential traction (uniform 1 Pa over 1 pixel = pitch²) on a 2n grid (for zero-padded linear convolution) and returns it already rfft2-transformed.

The kernel is held per pixel as a pixel average (mean of sub×sub sub-samples). For the centre pixel 1/r is integrable, so analytic values are used —— ∫□ 1/r dA = 4h ln(1+√2), ∫□ x²/r³ dA = 2h ln(1+√2) (by symmetry ∫x²/r³ = ∫y²/r³ = ½∫1/r), ∫□ xy/r³ = ∫□ x/r² = 0. Returns: Kxx, Kyx (tangential → tangential), with with_uz=True also Kzx (tangential → normal; factor (1−2ν), 0.04 times at ν 0.48), n, pitch, G, nu. Agreement with closed form (3.91) is ūx 0.017 %, ūy 0.03 % (256 px, the PoC gate). Raises ValueError: n < 8, pitch, G ≤ 0, sub < 1.
