I am just beginer with ABAQUS, I have gone through the concrete material models available in ABAQUS. I found that smeared crack model well suite for analysis. Initially I am simulating a 2D model, I am using plane stress elements with static, Riks options, even I could able to complete the analysis, I am confused how to view the cracked elements and how to plot load-displacement curve. </p> <p> I want to know whether I am going in a right path by using smear cracking model for crack propagation. </p> <p> Thank you for your reply </p> <p> Regards </p> <p> Gouse&nbsp; </p> <br class="clear" /> http://imechanica.org/node/3258#comments research crack propagation smear cracking model Sun, 01 Jun 2008 09:01:01 -0400 Gouse 3258 at http://imechanica.org
