PROGRESSIVE DAMAGE AND FAILURE ABAQUS / EPOXY RESINS
Hi everybody,
have you ever tried to model the damage behaviour of a material using the theory of progressive damage and failure
for ductile metals implemeted in Abaqus for continuum elements?
If so, do you think it is possible to use the same theory to model the damage behaviour of an epoxy resin?
Are there any articles in which this has been done? Could you please suggest me some articles to read?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Cecilia
How to apply pressure on perticular side of the shell element
If a pressure is to be applied on one of the sides of the shell element (not on the mid surface) in ansys, how to do it? And if the pressure ie acting on both the sides of the geometry, then how to take care of it when shell element is being used?

Hello,
I am looking for any resource where I can get some data regarding the average force and its time variation with which the wind applies force onto an aircraft body especially the wing. To reframe the question in a better way: can anyone recommend a resource that has data about the wind velocity profile around the aircraft (especially the wings) or pressure/shear force profile on the boundary of the aircraft (especially the wings) during various phases in its flight.
If periodic boundary conditions do not respect stress continuity at the boundary....
Hi everybody,
have you ever tried to implement in Abaqus periodic boundary conditions?
I am doing this. Particularly, I am applying PBC to unit cells constituted of a clay particle in an epoxy matrix.
When I apply PBC in case of transverse shear, I have convergence problems using Abaqus standard,
so I have to use an algorithm of stabilization but because of this one
I have to renounce to the stress continuity between opposite boundaries of the unit cell.
Do you think this is normal or I am doing some mistakes?
