Corrosion modelling in COMSOL 4.2

Hello everybody,

 

I am trying to model corrosion process of steel-reinforcement embedded in concrete with COMSOL 4.2 version.

 So, please anybody has any suggestion how to do it..

 Well, if there are any other software which can model corrosion in a more simple way, please suggest that also.

 

Thanks.

Poblem in mdelling composite material in Abaqus

I can model uni-directional Composites in Abaqus/CAE but in bidirectional fibers I have problem with it! I'm not sure what can I do?

how to get the pressure value inside the cohesive element

I build a water inject model with COH3D8RP element, in the simulation, I can get the pore pressure value around the cohesive element, but I can't the value inside the cohesive element. the pore pressure changed around the cohesive element because of the pressure inside the cohesive element changes, however, I can't get the value of pressure inside the cohesive element.

 

Anyone can help, pls!

Hi folks !

I have a question which is more mathematical than mechanical. However since it is to solve mechanical problem, one of you may have an answer !

Managing Risk

Managing risk can be effectively done with the right software tools. Specifically with enterprise risk management software tools. In mechanical engineering projects, managing such risk is paramount to success and meeting deadlines. Most mechanical engineering students will not study such processes, but in having knowledge of managing risk, you will put yourself on a higher pedestal.

Hello every body

is there any modoule in the abaqus for modeling continuum damage mechanics under creep condition?

FGM modeling

Hellow

 I am a graduate student on mechanic and I am working on the vibration
of FGM plate.

I try to model the FGM plate with Abaqus, so I need to use the UMAT
Subroutine 

I don’t have big knowledge about Subroutine under Abaqus 

Especially FGM materials

I’ll be thankful if some people give some guide lines about this problem.

Computational Study of Cortical Bone Screw Pullout using the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) - 2012

In this study, using a UDMGINI subroutine, stress components relative to a predefined osteon orientation were computed and an anisotropic damage criterion was used to determine damage initiation and to predict crack propagation.

ABAQUS embedded regions

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hello,

 

I am trying to find out if someone has information about the "embedded region" constraint in Abaqus. I am trying to model a very simple short fiber in a matrix (short cylinder inside a block). The model is purely elastic. The problem is, no matter how high I assign the values of the E modulus of fiber, I always get equivalent properties of composite (fiber + matrix) equal to matrix properties.

 

Interaction definition between axisymmetric shell element with soil element

Hi,

 

I was wondering if you have any idea that how can I define the surface-to-surface interaction betwee axisymmetric shell element(SAX1) and soil element(CAX4p).

Simulation of the Ballistic Perforation of Aluminum Plates with Abaqus/Explicit - 2012

This Technology Brief describes Abaqus/Explicit
modeling of the ballistic impact of metal projectiles on metal targets.
It will demonstrate the utility of Abaqus/Explicit as a tool for
reducing the amount of experimental testing as well as assessing the
projectile residual velocities and time-resolved kinematics. 

How to learn user subroutines in ABAQUS by FORTRAN?

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

I'm a freshman in biomechanic and apply to learn user subroutines in ABAQUS by FORTRAN.

I have installed the ABAQUS 6.11, VS2008 and IVF 11.1.

But I don't know how to call the subroutines in ABAQUS, so I will be very appreciate if someone give me some suggestion or simple tutorials about this.

THANKS!

strain dependent shear modulus

Hi all,

I want to model a soil body which its shear modulus changes with the deviatoric strain.I know it can be introduced in ABAQUS by field variables (defining a field variable). But the question is that how can I tell ABAQUS that the defined variable is the "deviatoric strain" ? 

Thank you beforehand.

Tutorial For ABAQUS/Explicit.. for machining

Hello Everyone,

I am very new in Abaqus. I want to learn abaqus as well do some
simulation of machining (Orthogonal/oblique). So I am looking for a
tutorial.

While post processing in hypermesh ,we can use either contour or assign. i need to know difference between this and which is the best to choose for viwing the results.

User defined failure criteria in abaqus

I am an Aerospace Engineer working at Advanced Composite Division of National Aerospace Laboratory, Bangalore.

I use Abaqus for stress analysis of composite structures.

Abaqus has five inbuilt failure
criteria for composite materials(Tsai-Hill, Tsai-WU etc.) whose contour
plots are shown by requesting output of a field variable called
CFAILURE.

Problems about the Contact Roller of the 3D FE Model in ADINA

Dear everyone,

Recently I am running a 3D FE model in ADINA to
analyse the elastic-plastic fracture behaviour.

A three-point bending specimen was modeled and the specimen was
supported by a contact roller.

Here is the problem:

Hi all,
I am writing a umat for FEAP.  My UMAT needs the physical/global coordinates of the Gauss Integration point upon which it is being run.

is it possible to get the Physical/Global
coordinates of the Gauss integration point upon which the UMAT
subroutine is being run ?

hi everyone

can anybody pleases tell me if i can draw a complex shape in other programs (e.g. autocad) and then import it to abaqus.

i don`t know how to draw a complex shape directly via abaqus.

thanks

maxim safe size of delamination in composites using ansys/ abacus

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

I would like to calculate maxim safe size of delamination in composites using ansys/abacus.

I went through the forums here found that cohesive zone modeling & vcct techniques are being used only in ABACUS. Is it not possible in ANSYS APDL?

If not please can somebody provide me tutorial of ABACUS regarding interfacial cracks.  Also which one better VCCT or Cohesive zone modeling for an existing crack.

Regards. 

Orthotropy in Plasticity and Creep using ANSYS

How to calculate total bending moment over a cross section, ADINA.

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi everybody.

I use ADINA. After my static analysis, I plot bending moment distribution over a cross section. Is there a way to find total bending moment at that section in ADINA software? I think some integration is required to do that, but have no idea how to manage it with the software. Surely, there are similar operations in ANSYS, ABAQUS etc.

Any help appreciated.

Riza. 

Matlab-based Digital Image and Volume Correlation Simulators

Hi,

I just posted a Matlab-GUI easy-to-use DIC and DVC simulator tool on our website (franck.engin.brown.edu) for download for anyone that works with DIC or DVC. The purpose of these simulators is to simulate deformation fields based on a user provided image (2D) or volume (3D), and evaluate the correlation results with the analytical solutions to provide quantitative feedback on the "goodness" of the provided images for DIC or DVC purposes.

Feel free to use them for research, teaching, etc. We welcome any suggestions for improvements, etc.

EFG in LS-DYNA for crack simulation

Hello, everyone!

I am a graduate student in Hunan Univ, my research field is meshless method. Instead of using codes to calculate, I find EFG has been well developed in ls-dyna, and using software may be more convienient for me.  

But I can only find some introductional information, so I want to find some useful material in iMechnica.com!

THX!
