Hi all ... Is there a way to find/calibrate material parameters for johnson and cook material model using experimental data in Abaqus? .. As far as i know abaqus has something called as data editor with which Hyperelastic materials models can be calibrated with experimental results. If not is there any other way arround to do calibration of material parameter with abaqus.
Hi ... what is the difference in functionality between charpy (a simply supported specimen(notched/unnotched) is hit by a swinging pendulum)and gardner test (a simply supported specimen(notched/unnotched) is hit by a vertical free falling mass guided by rails) ....
1.What is the loading pattern in the point of contact between the specimen and the setup?
2.Why fracture pattern varies between the two test setups for similar specimen with same impact velocity, Which parameter is responsible for the variation in fracture type.
Hi all,
Recently i tried Hydrostatic pressure stress element removal criterion in Abaqus(19.2.8 Dynamic failure models in the 6.9 manual) . I used 75 Mpa as cut-off pressure stress and after which the material fails. During post - processing i tried to measure the pressure stress in an element that failed but the element did not fail at 75 Mpa and i checked few other elements, also i found the same thing none of them failed at 75 Mpa. What could be the possible reason?
Thanks
Mike
Hi all .. What are the advantages of XFEM over std FEM other than remeshing ?
Because when ever XFEM is introduced only remeshing alone is highlighted ... Can the experts from this field please list out the other advantages?
All above are in context to Fracture.
thanks in advance.
How to import what i beleive is Ls-Dyna files with an extension (.k) in to Abaqus CAE 6,7 edu version?? . Any free translaters are available or can it be done with Abaqus itself ??
Thx in advance
mike
Dear all,
I am new to X-FEM, started reading papers a couple of weeks before. I understood, functions[heaviside,sign..] are used to enrich the nodes to simulate virtually the discontinuity and asymptotic functions are used to charecterize the crack tip,other than this regular FEM nodes are there. I have few questions.
