Forced vibration

Submitted by mandar.vaidya on

Here is how I have carried out the forced vibration
simulation. After an “intial step”, I chose “Linear Perturbation” to first
extract the natural frequency. My next step was “Modal Dynamics”. I then
applied the load in the form of a sine wave under the same step. I have an
isotropic material. When I try to submit the job, I received following warning:

Dispersion curve for Lamb waves using Abaqus

Submitted by r_1159 on

Dear all

I am trying to plot the dispersion curbve for wave propagation in an ALuminum beam under S0 and A0 lambwave.  My simulation has completed and I thin the results are reasonable as long as visualization is concerned.

I am trying to plot dispersion curve for these two waves using Abaqus outputs. As far as I know I need to use Abaqus outputs such as displacement or velocity for calculation of wave speed.

1- How would I calculate wave speed by Abaqus outputs and is this calculated wave speed the phase velocity or group velocity ?
