Spring in Abaqus

Submitted by mahmood seraji on

Dear all



When i assign the springs between pair points in two
plate over each other, the spring definitely acts in one direction only
(perpendicular to the plates), but they must be assigned in such a way
that the springs work in three orthogonal directions. it is important to
mention that the two plate is fastened using screws, where the spring
has been used for screw.

how can i overcome this problem?

 

Best Regards

equivalent plastic strain works with mohr-coloumb plastity??

Submitted by Gamal on

can i use the equivalent plastic strain to evalute the state of the elements (yield or elastic) when the i use Mohr-Coloumb plasticity (Abaqus 6.6).

 i am asking this question because i made a model to simulate  the uniaxial compression test using mohr-coloumb plasticity, but i find that the equivalent plastic strain remain constant at all elements, i am sure that the it should change from the edged of the sample to the core of the sample.

Softening behavior in Mohr-Couloumb

Submitted by Gamal on

hi my friends, i am new in Abaqus, while i am making a uniaxial compression test for coal  sample using Abaqus 6.6, the failure criteria is Mohr-coloumb plasticity, i know that the behavior of coal is strain softening. i should use this table to simulate the hardening/softening behavior of material.
