multiscale implementation with abaqus

Submitted by palizvan on

hi 

I'm a beginner in abaqus and I started to simulate an multiscale analysis, I model both micro and macro scales and even homogenization part for micro scale outputs, but I couldn't perform a relation between two scales. i know the parts of the code, but i can't call phyton from fortran subroutine.

could any expert guide me how to overcome this problem?

thanks

Post-doctoral Position in Theoretical and Computational Solid Mechanics at Los Alamos National Laboratory

Submitted by Hashem Mourad on

The Fluid Dynamics and Solid Mechanics Group (T-3) at Los Alamos National Laboratory is currently seeking outstanding candidates for a post-doctoral research position in the areas of solid mechanics, constitutive modeling, computational methods, and multi-scale modeling and simulation techniques. The prospective candidate is expected to take part in theory and computational method development for the effective representation of plasticity, damage and failure in solid materials.

when the failure of metals occur under Hydrostatic pressure ?

Submitted by Dincoz on

We know "Many experiments have shown that ductile materials can be hydrostatically stressed to levels beyond their ultimate strength in compression without failure. This is because the hydrostatic state of stress reduces the volume of the specimen without changing its shape. My confusion is that in what stress value the failure is occure under hydrostatic pressure? 

Naturally, I do not expect that a metal can bear infinite hydrostatic pressure values!
