Pre-stress modal analysis in ABAQUS for circular cylindrical shell

Submitted by anishiitk on Tue, 10/08/2013 - 10:03

Dear all,

I am trying to perform a pre-stress modal analysis of a cylindrical shell in ABAQUS, and I am unable to transfer data from step-1 to step-2. Due to this
results are the same as the modal analysis of the beam without the
static force.

Anybody know the solution of this kind of problem, kindely let me know..

Thanking you in advance

Hyperelastic and Viscoelastic material modelling

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 10/07/2013 - 17:59

I have a doubt regarding the Hyperelastic and Viscoelastic material modelling in ANSYS using Mooney-Rivlin material constants.

ANSYS theory manual says that for large deformation and large strains, the material modelling (i.e. constitutive behaviour) is same for hyperelastic and viscoelastic. Is it so?

Generally, Mooney-Rivlin material constants are used to model Hyperelastic behaviour (rubber-like materials).

Award

mecahnics

It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched last year, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.

elasticity

I am a student using ansys for solve problems but i have a problem "how to find at which force value the component will be fail". A ball has to pass through a cone and i am intrested to know that force value at which boll will be pass through cone nerrow section while boll diameter is large than small dia of cone.

Plz help me anyone ansys masters

Thanks dear frnd & sir...
