New SIMULIA Tech Brief: Understanding the Effects of Nonlinear Preloads on Engine System Dynamic Response using Abaqus/Standard

Submitted by SIMULIA on

What do
Guitar Strings Have to do With Dynamic Response?

Tightening
guitar strings to change the sound uses the same principle as tightening head
bolts to change the dynamic response of an engine block assembly. This is
stress stiffening and it affects the dynamic response of a structure. One of
the fundamental components in assessing nonlinear static stress is stress
stiffening, but it is also the most overlooked when evaluating the steady-state
dynamic response of engine assemblies.

Arguments for Drucker Prager creep model with user defined law??

Submitted by sud1986 on

Hey all,

I am trying to use Drucker Prager plasticity with Tension hardening model for my material in Abaqus. In addition, I want to use the Drucker Prager creep with user defined (user) law that is via creep subroutine. But when I try to choose the Drucker Prager creep in the Abaqus CAE, it gives an error, "not all required arguments specified; expected 1, got 0." I am not able to follow what arguments it is asking for when I am using a user defined law. Any help regarding the same will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
