This study presents Abaqus/Standard simulation of Lamb waves in smart composite plates is investigated for detecting delamination type damage and the effect of delamination size on the structural response.
In this paper, an analytical example of this innovative technique will be presented on one of Nabtesco Corporation (“Nabtesco” hereinafter)’s products. To determine the most advantageous crowning, it is very important to accurately evaluate surface stress for all phases of engagement.
In this aspect of study is investigating the recent introduction of the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) in Abaqus. This paper demonstrates and discusses how a real case of fatigue crack growth in a large diesel engine can be analyzed by the use of the XFEM in Abaqus.
This study presents a discrete crack network model (DCN) for damage progression prediction has been developed by combining mesh independent matrix cracking with cohesive zone delamination models at the ply interfaces.
This paper presents an Abaqus/Explicit simulation of the impact event when a golf club hits a golf ball. The simulation emphazies accurate material characterization and realistic model construction.
Simulation techniques used in present work include shrink fits at various analysis steps, model change at different analysis steps. This will demonstrate the capability of Abaqus in simulating reality of a complex bearing assembly and further stress analysis for different loading conditions.
In this study, a user subroutine film is used to define the htc and gas temperature at manifold surfaces so that the transient thermal analysis can be perfomred in Abaqus quickly.
The development of benchmark examples for quasi-static delamination
propagation and cyclic delamination onset and growth prediction is presented and demonstrated for Abaqus/Standard.
The idea of our approach is to define modal composite damping in system in proportion to strainenergy within the mode shape, as independent computer program. This approach allows to take into account soil damping in modal analysis.
This paper describes how Siemens Energy large scale steam turbines R&D has faced this challenge by developing ‘STARpost’ and provides many more field outputs beneficial for hot turbomachinery R&D and an environment for convenient visualization.
