granular package in ABAQUS
Hi experts,
I want to do simulation of granular media. I want to know wether ABAQUS has such models like Hertz contact model or others to do granular flow simulations.
Thanks in advance,
Best,
Ram
Damping when using UMAT in Abaqus
As it is known, when using UMAT abaqus, stiffness proportional damping can not be used. However, for the dynamic calculation it is neccessary to put some stiffness damping. So for approximate calculations, it is easy to use numerical damping instead.
*Dynamic, application=XXX,
and using the key words *Dynamic, XXX, users can adjust the value for numerical damping. Althogh, there is no physical meaning for numerical damping, it can be a temperory solution for UMAT dynamic calculation.
Two Postdoc positions at Northeastern: Solid and Computational Mechanics and Biomimetic materials and structures
Two postdoctoral fellow positions at Northeastern University are available immediately. First position is focused on the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of soft matter using computational mechanics and the development and analysis of biomimetic materials and structural systems. Second position is focused on computational and solid mechanics. The research will be carried out at the High Performance Materials and Structures Laboratory (http://www.hpmsl.neu.edu/).
Metals and Alloys Webinar on Modelling: State of the Art in Casting and Forging Simulation
