Geometric nonlinearity

Submitted by sagar_009 on

hi all,

How to decide the geometric nonlinearity?.

i.e If i consider a sturcutre for example-fishing rod or wind turbine blade, how to decide that the structure is geometrically nonlinear.

Does it requires lots of calculations or by experimentation... For example by just observing the structure, is it possible to decide?

What are the reasons to consider the geometric nonliearities.

Regards

How to obtain resultant moment from the stress output of 3D element

Submitted by alex1paglia on

Sirs,

I have modeled a pile with 3D elements in Abaqus . It is possible to obtain from the output file (.dat) the stresses on the elements points (averaged or not). Is there anyone able to suggest me a command able to give me the resultant moment of the S33 stress abuot the axis passing through the centroid of the cross section?

Thank you

Modelling Floating objects in Abaqus

Submitted by Ferris71@gmail.com on

Hi,

Im a real beginner at Abaqus, and trying to model a hollow structure floating in water. I've managed to model the structure, but I do not know where to start with regards to modelling water. I also need to apply a gravity load to the structure, but am having difficulty doing so.

 

Is anyone able to help.

Many Thanks

 

Elasto-Plastic Analysis of metal component with Cyclic Loading

Submitted by SriramG on

Hi,

 

I am pursuing my master's in Mech. Engg. and working on Abaqus for FEA of components. In one of the analysis, 

I am required to apply cyclic loading on the component to determine the Stresses at the edges. Its a compression

cyclic loading with kinematic hardening taken into account. From the documentation for ABAQUS 6.9.1, I found that

in order to apply kinematic hardening in metals, one must take it as Combined (Isotropic + Kinematic) Hardening.

 

The two concerns I have about this analysis are:
