As we known,  boundary element method (BEM)  is a quite popular numerical  method.  But there are some problems. My research fields are computational mechanics and BEM (including fast BEM).  We can discuss these fields in this blogs. I am waiting for you! Thanks

                         Accurate Implicit Time Integration in Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis

Using an effective time marching procedure is an important aspect in the implicit finite element analysis

of nonlinear dynamic problems. Here, we demonstrate some of the difficulties that can arise through an

example involving contact chatter and fluid structure interaction:

Hi all,

How can we model material with linearly varying modulus with respect to distance. We cannot use field variable dependence as distance is not a field variable in abaqus.

please tell if any body knows Step by Step procedure how to execute the problem described below....

My project is "Study on the behaviour of FRP strengthened concrete structures subject to cyclic load".

concrete 1500 x 100 x 200

CFRP: 460 x 50

Adhesieve: epoxy(sikadur 30): 460 x 50 x 0.01

Steel: 1500mm, 4mm radius, circular profile.

I have to do the following Steps using Abaqus/explicit

1. Modelling

2. Material Property

3. Assigning Sections

4. Defining Step

Hi Frns,

            I'm doing project entitled, " Study on the behaviour of CFRP strengthened concrete structures subject to cyclic loading" both experimental and analytical part using Abaqus. ( All dimensions are in terms of SI units[N,mm,s])

                             concrete dimensions: 1500 x 100 x 200 (L x B x D), M40 grade, 

I would like to have some text and material on contact mechanics.

Please help.
