temp as a solution dependent variable in umatht subroutine?

Submitted by miladbabaei on

Hey guys,

 Anyone has experinece using temperature as a solution dependent varibales in writing umatht subroutine in abaqus?

im my code,temperature is varying with time and also as a SDV.

any advice would be greatly appreciated 

 

 

Open-Access Paper: Transient thermal finite element analysis of CFC-Cu ITER monoblock using X-ray tomography data

Submitted by Simpleware on

 

This Creative Commons article in Fusion Engineering and Design investigates the thermal performance of a fusion power heat exchange component by analysing microstructures obtaiend using X-ray tomography. Simpleware software was used as part of an image-based modelling workflow that involved microstructurally faithful finite element analysis of how manufacturing defects affect performance.

hello guys...

i did a compression test experiment of a foam. From machine i got the graph between engineering stress and strain. i am also trying to simulate that test in abaqus so for curve fitting which stresses and strains i have to chose in abaqus?

Open PhD position in computational mechanics at the University of Tennessee

Submitted by Timothy Truster on

We have an open PhD position starting in either the Spring or Fall semester 2016 at the Computational Laboratory for the Mechanics of Interfaces at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville (http://clmi.utk.edu). The research topic centers upon the modeling of texture evolution in FCC and BCC metals using dislocation density based crystal plasticity.

Interface Crack Propagation in Abaqus, using Cohesive Interaction

Submitted by bhaveshshrimali on

Hi

 

I am trying to model interface crack propagation in Abaqus using Cohesive Interaction (default module in Abaqus). My model consists of two rectangular domains attached to each other by the longer edge. I am defining two surfaces on each of these domains and defining traction separation laws for these surfaces. There is a small portion in the middle for which I am not defining any traction separation law (thereby making it my notch). I am then applying displacement controlled loading on the remaining two longer edges. I am having two set of problems:

 

Is it possible to re-define the constitutive equation in abaqus

Submitted by Navid Moheb on

Hello Eeveryone,

I am working with Pore-pressure cohesive element in abaqus. In this element, I can define laminar fluid flow. However, I was wondering to see if I can change it to turbulent flow?

In these types of elements we use Poiseuille's law to model fluid flow. So the form of it is (qd=K_t*del_p). Is it possible to change this equation to another equation with the same degree of freedom?

Thanks,

Bloch-Floquet waves in flexural systems with continuous and discrete elements

Submitted by Giorgio Carta on

In this paper we describe the dynamic behavior of elongated multi-structured media excited by flexural harmonic waves. We examine periodic structures consisting of continuous beams and discrete resonators disposed in various arrangements. The transfer matrix approach and Bloch-Floquet conditions are implemented for the determination of diff erent propagation and non-propagation regimes.
