Displacement control VS. force control in Abaqus

Submitted by mahmood seraji on

Dear friends,



I have modeled a simply supported beam, using wire and the circle section of 1mm and a length of 110mm. I did two analyses


1) I used the distributed load of 0.2 N/mm (where the beam behaves in
the elastic area) and got the maximum displacement (at center).   

2) I used the obtained max displacement (from first analysis) as a
displacement control. the results of the reaction forces are supposed to
like the distributed load at first analysis, but it is much lower.

need help in ansys

Submitted by dileepade on

sir,

I need to find out kinetic energy of the element in the harmonic analyis problem of a plate.

i am using ansys command...in /post1

etable,KE,KENE

but no data is stored on the lable KE

please help and suggest some other means to do the same...or the correct method of issuing this command ..

 thanks

Tensile test under LS-DYNA

Submitted by Manaliac on

Dear all,

I would like to run a tensile test under ls-dyna of a mild steel  and
apply a 7000 N load to the dog bone specimen on a explicite scheme.

Unfortunately, I
have wild deformations ( and an error) on the nodes on edges where the
load is applied, so can you please tell me what are the importants
constants (like time termination, mass scale,...) and how to perform a
perfect run?

 

Have a good day,

 

Thank you

M.

The surface effect on the strain energy release rate of buckling delamination in thin film–substrate systems

Submitted by tongqing.lu on

Gurtin–Murdoch continuum surface elasticity model is employed to study the buckling

delamination of ultra thin film–substrate system. The effects of surface deformation and

residual stress on the large deflection of ultra thin film are considered in analysis. A

concept of effective bending rigidity (EBR) for ultra thin plate is proposed on the basis of

Gurtin–Murdoch continuum theory and the principle of minimum potential energy. The

governing equations with EBR are formally consistent with the classical plate theory,
