cyclic loading
Dear All
I want to input data for cyclic loading in abaqus. The input data are equivalent stress and strain.
Can any one to help me how to get equivalent stress and strain from uniaxial tensile test.
thank yiou for any help

Test for parameters of Johnson Cook damage criterion
Hi.
I am looking for the experimental method to determine the parameters (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5) in Johnson Cook damage criterion for steel AISI 1045. Please help me if you have any sources relative this. Thank you.
Check out our latest issue of SIMULIA Realistic Simulation News!
From spacecrafts to army helmets, the latest issue of SIMULIA Realistic Simulation News delivers customer success stories and industry strategy focused on Aerospace and Defense.
Our feature article is an exciting and in-depth report on Dutch Space’s application of Abaqus in literal rocket science: virtual testing of a new metallic thermal protection system for hypersonic space vehicles.

Designing Safer Vehicles with Realistic Simulation of Airbag Deployment
Airbags are one of the major protection systems used in a car crash. They play one of the most important roles in preventing severe injuries and fatalities during vehicle crashes. The advancement of new technology and airbag regulations necessitates that airbags be tested for safety in all kinds of scenarios, including situations where the occupant interacts with the airbag before it is fully deployed.
Water Landing of Space Flight Re-entry Vehicles Using Abaqus/Explicit
Space flight re-entry vehicles need to withstand heavy impact upon landing and it is critical for engineers to understand the effects on the vehicle and the crew to ensure the safety of the mission. In order to gain this insight, engineers need to be able to model both the space craft structure and the landing medium such as water, sand, clay, etc.
Journals in Physics and Engineering, and Preprint Servers Like arXiv
Hi all,
1. In the past, we have had quite some discussion regarding both open-access and open-access journals. However the slant in this blog post is different. I am not concerned here much about open-access journals per say.
A simple approximate expression for finite life fatigue behaviour in the presence of ‘crack-like’ or ‘blunt’ notches
After a long process (somebody may recall I made also quite some chaos on imechanica to complain with the review process in a previous journal), this paper was accepted. Ask me a preprint if you are interested. I can attach here a few images only.

Fluid Mechanics
This new book builds on the original classic textbook entitled: An Introduction to Computational Fluid Mechanics by C. Y. Chow which was originally published in 1979. In the decades that have passed since this book was published the field of computational fluid dynamics has seen a number of changes in both the sophistication of the algorithms used but also advances in the computer hardware and software available.
