VUMAT

Submitted by bagheriasl on
I see what you mean and I think your intention is that if we use user subroutine we can not observe the plastic starin in it specialy when we use VUMAT????


onther is that i define peeq and plastic starin as well as incerement of plastic starin as sate variables but you mean when we define it we can get the result in the field put???? but i couldn't get it. If the answer is no so where the state variables which define at routine b stored and how can i reach it??

Submitted by Aaron Goh on

The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Curtin University Sarawak, is seeking highly motivated academics in the areas of Solid Mechanics, Materials or Design & Manufacturing to join its team. Curtin Sarawak is the largest international campus of Western Australia's Curtin University, which is a member of the Australian Technology Network (ATN) and widely recognised for its practical research focused on solving real-world problems. Curtin Sarawak is located in the city of Miri, with oil & gas, agriculture, biodiversity, forestry and tourism as the major industries.

Different phases or changes in electrode potential that occurs on a metallic structure before failure or deterioration.

Submitted by oseghale lucas… on

Introduction:

As the electrode potential of a given metallic structure
over time deteriorate as a result of loss of electrons it is therefore necessary
to understand the life process or stages of deterioration of this structure
with time.

Factors militating against the current requirement for cathodic protection of metallic structures

Submitted by oseghale lucas… on

 Introduction:  

As corrosion proceeds largely unaided by external loads but
results from chemical reactions between the structure (metal) and the
environment, there is therefore a need of identifying and discussing factors
that can possible affect the current density for cathodic protection.

Full scholarships available at European Commission funded workshop on fracture and damage mechanics in Antalya / Turkey

Submitted by Tuncay Yalcinkaya on

European Commission' s JRC (Joint Research Centre) is organizing the 2nd workshop on physics based modeling of material properties and experimental observations in collaboration with TOBB University of Economics and Technology. The workshop will be held in Antalya/Turkey on 15-17 May 2013, and the special focus will be fracture and damage mechanics.

ABAQUS VUMAT

Submitted by bagheriasl on

Dear All

I have writed a elastoplastic VUMAT to analyse a model in abaqus explisit code but after the analysis was finished, i can not observe the plastic strain conutors in it, in the onther word there is not PE option at odb field output. I rewuest you to give a favor to me. I am confused

thanks
