implementation of mass matrix and stiffness matrix in abaqus using external subroutine

Submitted by lamia009 on

 

 Hi,

I am working on a coupled fluid structure problem , precisley on the elasto-acoustic mode, and i want to make sure that abaqus work with my matrix (stiffness and mass matrix) that i have made by fortran and at the same time i continu using abaqus element to mesh my model,

Any suggestion would be very appreciated

Thanks in advance

Regards

Lamia

Change in Elastic Modulus with Plastic Deformation

The physical basis of material
properties like Young's modulus can be understood by examining
materials on the atomic scale. There are two main things that influence
the value of the modulus:



1.)     The atomic microstructure

2.)     The interatomic bonds.

Simple calculation, Interesting result -- van der Waal interaction of DWCNT

Submitted by weibang on

It is well known that the wall-to-wall interactions play a great part in the deformation of MWCNTs. At the first glance, I thought the pressures, duing to van der Waal interaction, on the inner tube and out tube should be proportional to their radii inversely, because this interaction is a kind of action and reaction. BUT actually it is not the case, as illuminated in our paper published in APL, although this two pressures are both functions of the radii, they are not inversely proportional to the radii. 

Can we creat a new kind of "boundary condition" to LBM for solve the mulpiple coupled fields problems

Submitted by BoJing Zhu on

As we know, lattice boltzmann method is one method to solve the fluid problems. and the primary work to use this method is give the corrected "boundary conditon"__pressure conditions and velocity conditions.

To general problems, the PC and VC for 2D/3D problems has been obtained by some scientists(eg.D3Q19,D2q9 ...model).

But to the lowest scale problems, the "force" fields is complexed and the traditional PC/VC is not suit for this kind of problems.

My opinion:
