Stress contours

Submitted by vinay kumar B A on

 

 

Hi..

 

 

 i want to know,  how to obtain the stress contours of users  choice in ansys.

 i want to  find  stress contours rangeing from 0.2 to 2 in the interval of 0.2 in a problem of plate drilled with a circular hole.

 

please help me to find the solution.

 

thanking you

Using indentation to characterize the poroelasticity of gels

Submitted by Yuhang Hu on

When an indenter is pressed into a gel to a fixed depth, the solvent in the gel migrates, and the force on the indenter relaxes. Within the theory of poroelasticity, the force relaxation curves for indenters of several types are obtained in a simple form, enabling indentation to be used with ease as a method for determining the elastic constants and permeability of the gel. The method is demonstrated with a conical indenter on an alginate hydrogel.

Crack propagation in ABAQUS

Submitted by mmmadni85 on

Hi

I am trying to find out the propagation in a bone using FEA in ABAQUS , The bone is given material properties of Polyurethane foam since I have the bone models made up of polyurethane foam, I have created a notch/crack on it and want to know how can I find the propagation of crack till the complete bone breaks.

Thank you
