Dynamic Rolling Process Simulation

Submitted by Hassan Nazari on

 Dear All,

 Recently, I am simulation a rolling process with a very high dynamic speed (around 5 m/s). Hence, the model is quite dynamic and not Quasi-static.

I use Abaqus Explicit for this simulation. The structure is composite material including several layers with different material properties. In this case, I am using ''Cohesive Surface'' definition as the surface interaction between different layers.

I have a big problem and there is an error during the simulation process so called:

Contact stiffness estimation based on structural frequency response

Submitted by xwling on

 

If you work on contact mechanics, or have difficulty get your FEA model converge due to contact, you may find it beneficial reading my patent on "Contact stiffness estimation based on structural frequency response". It forms a first ever rational method to estimate the contact stiffness, and provides a practical technical solution to a real challenge in contact mechanics. For industrial FEA developers or users, please contact me for the right to commercialize or implement it. Thank you!

 

I need PhD student exchange for doing laboratory experiments on commercially pure titanium dental implant fracture

Submitted by dawit2012 on

If any one have the idea how to get join other university in America,Canada for doing or sharing labratory for my reaserch dental implant mechanical fracture due to different factors before implant and after implant during function or non function of the implant. I am a PhD student at National Taiwan University of Science and Technology(NTUST), here i will heat treat to add some strength to the titanium like ECAP (equal channel angle press) to be at SPD and then quenched.

Compression test in ABAQUS with friction effect??

Submitted by Zuhaib Nazir on

Dear Researchers 

I am trying to simulate hot compression test in ABAQUS with friction effect. In friction properties when coefficient of friction is changing from 0.1 to 1, there is no effect of curves for force vs. displacement. I have attached the graphs and result pictures file with this blog. What I understood as the friction plane is perpendicular to applied force thats why there will be no effect of friction coefficient value on force vs displacement graph.

I have a PhD opening in my group to start in 2017 on the multiscale modeling of fluid driven fracture propagation.

Interested individuals should contact me, and submit in parallel an application to EPFL doctoral school in mechanics

(see http://phd.epfl.ch/edme for more details about the mechanics PhD program at EPFL and the application process).

 

A brief description of the topic can be found in attached file.
