modeling of composite cylinder in abaqus

Submitted by chincholi3288 on

i am working on composite risers and it has inner steel liner and carbon epoxy layers ,where there are  19 layers with 88 and 0 degree orientation alternatively. plss help me in modeling it.

1) i have assumed nu12 =nu23 for transverse isotropy case. i needed engineering constants to give as material properties. am i right???

2)how to create local coordinate system and assign it material orintation.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Materials Joining Science and Technology at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Submitted by Yanfei Gao on

(An opening from a colleague's group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory:)

Postdoctoral research associate positions are available in the area of materials joining and associated science and technology. The research emphases are expected to focus on computational modeling of welding phenomena including heat transfer, stress and distortion, and non-equilibrium phase transformation/microstructure evolution. The successful applicant should have a strong background and interest in materials joining with demonstrated capability of innovative and independent research.

suitable contact for sph in LS-DYNA

Submitted by rozaiman on

Hi there,

I'm using SPH in LS-DYNA as my tool to simulate the projectile penetrate the box. Both projectile and box are modeled as sph. 

I'm having problem to determine the suitable contact of these two entity.

Could someone please help me... any tips that will help me to tackle this problem is highly appreciated!

 

Thanks... 

how to find or evaluate the damage and critical damage

Submitted by anandjames on

Hello Sir, I am doing research on the journal "A continuum damage mechanics model for void growth and micro crack initiation". In that i am modellling the cylinder with preneck. i have applied tensile load and found the induced stress.  Now, I want to find out the damage and i need to plot the damage vs plastic strain graph and I dont know how to do it abaqus or ansys. Can u please guide me or let me know how to find out the damage and plastic strain and also suggest me the weblinks if there are any which tells about the evaluation of the damage?

 

Graduate research assistantship only for Malaysian citizenship

Submitted by pooria pasbakhsh on

The Micromechanics Lab at the School of Engineering in Monash University Sunway Campus (Malaysia) is
seeking candidates to fill a research assistantship post who are
interested to continue the project as a Master or PhD project. The research
assistant will work on a project that requires carrying out experiments and computer
simulation using state-of-the-art equipments, namely the Bruker SAXS/WAXS
machine (available at MIMOS Sdn Bhd), micro-tensile test rig and multi-physics
Finite Element software to investigate basic properties that are responsible
for ensuring the mechanical and electrical reliability of the sub-micron
wire-bond in semiconductor devices such as RAM. The work will be conducted in
