ABAQUS - Contact between a 2D axisymmetric deformable body with an analytical rigid surface

Submitted by jack_luk on

Hello,



I'm trying to figure out how the Interaction Module (surface-to-surface contact) in ABAQUS works. I want to apply a compression force on a 2D axisymmetric

deformable body via an analytical rigid surface(2D and axisymmetric also) - basic stuff. When I launch my simulations,

I get the good strains and stresses at the surface of the body which is in contact with the analytical rigid. Moreover, the reaction

forces and displacement of the analytical surface are adequate.

Physical Foundations of Continuum Mechanics

Submitted by Mubeen on

After many publications and lecture notes, Prof. Ian Murdoch has finally organized much of that material in the form of a book.

I am very hopeful that like Prof. Murdoch's lectures, this monograph will also help the readers to develop a better understanding of the physical aspects of mechanics. It will be a valuable addition to the researchers' personal collection.

Dear Friends,

The reputed Springer publication from The Netherlands has given me the responsibility to edit a book titled “Nanomechanical Analysis of High-Performance Materials”.

strain dependent shear modulus

Submitted by Ehsanizadi_civil on

Hi all,

I want to model a soil body which its shear modulus changes with the deviatoric strain.I know it can be introduced in ABAQUS by field variables (defining a field variable). But the question is that how can I tell ABAQUS that the defined variable is the "deviatoric strain" ? 

Thank you beforehand.
