Hello dear friends, I want to simulate a fracture process in an adhesive by the using of Double Cantilever Beam (DCB). My approach is the determination of strain energy release rate by the using of Virtual crack closure technique (VCCT). But I don’t know how can I begin with this. Can some one help me. Thanks a lot before because of your help.
I am teaching Subsea Integrity for the MSc students majoring in Subsea Engineering at the School of Engineering, University of Aberdeen. This is a course that combines the fundamental principles (corrosion, fracture, fatigue and material selection) with the industry applications (subsea integrity management and implementation, cathodic protection, case studies on subsea reliability and engineering assurance).

Hi, I am interested to creating a path in visualising results in ABAQUS CAE.
Then I wish to plot xy plot of say x-distance Vs principal stress. How to achieve
say using node set or slement set.
I did by creating a path in the area of interest by many many mouse clicks.
I wish to avoid this, that's why I created node set or element set. After this
creating a path on this elset and plotting an xy plot is what my interet.
Highly appreciated to have feedback from experienced users. Thanks.

I didn't do any thermal analysis but only doing structural analysis but i am using measured temperature values to my structural model. I created temperature loading with time (Using amplitude method as you mentioned). Plastic perfect material model created with respect with temperature.
I used Nonlinear Static Analysis with Linear Perfect plastic materialmodel. (fy=612 at Temperature=20°C)
The yield stress and elastic modulus values wereinput with respect to temperature (Using FIELD)
Hi.
I was trying to reproduce the work of Zhuang,Ellis and Yu to get a feel about ABAQUS before starting my actual work...i have already went through the geotech examples given in ABAQUS examples manual.
But i am not able to understand the analysis steps performed in this paper.
Could anyone please help me...

These notes were prepared when I taught fracture mechanics in 2010, and were updated when I taught the course again in 2014.
Notes on other parts of the course are also online.

I have a question regarding Gurson model. If we have a cube with initial length of unit and initial porosity of 20 percent and compress it hydrostatically in order to have a huge volume change of cube, the void growth equation in Gurson model takes a negative rate and reduces the void volume fraction to zero first and further compressing leads to no further void volume fraction change (remains zero) and no more plastic straining. Now let's load the model in tensile hydrostatic state up to a stress free configuration; the void volume fraction of the model remains zero.
