The old rolling semi-wreck

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I have quite a task waiting for me with my Chrysler. I got it running a few monts ago and it started working nicely. Only small problem is the brakes never quite worked the way they should have.

Replaced a master cylinder and two breaklines, but kept getting leaks. Now I think it would be the best thing for me if I just went ahead and ripped out everything from the booster and master cylinder through to the discs and brake pads and replace everything. 

Now the cash for something like that is the very small little problem I am sitting with...

Cohesive elements parameters

Submitted by parisa on

Hi,

I am working a long time on using cohesive elements in ABAQUS but up to now my efforts have be unsucessful.

I want to use of cohesive elements with the following paramters:

Damage initiation: Normal stres= 1.9 MPa, shear stress= 6.2 MPa 

Damage evolution:  Mode I fracture energy= 0.5307, Mode II farcture energy= 0.6623

Could any body kindly let me know that what would be my model E/Knn, E/Kss parameters?

Thank you,

Parisa
