how can i measure local stress and strain in fatigue crack tip?

Submitted by uni_students2009 on

It seems that the measurment of local stress and strain in fatigue crack tip will be difficult. some researcher use F.E analysis method,in contrary using of numerical solution. however analytical method also has investigated. what method you can imagine? i need a brain storm in this issue.

 

Thank you

Frictional Coulomb model in Abaqus

Submitted by Nicholas Fantuzzi on

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to add friction in my model.Now I have a body that is simply supported in a direction (vertical) and free to move in another one (horizontal). I want to use Coulomb friction in the horizontal direction in order to reduce displacements in that direction.

I read Abaqus User's Manual vol5 30.1.5 (frictional behavior) and I followed commands written there, but I think that works only with multiple bodies and not with a single body. I'm using Abaqus 6.7-1.

Could Someone help me?

Many many many thanks

Nicholas

Look for a research position on 1.constitutive model,failure of solid under high strain rate;2.Buckling of structure.
