2015 Melosh Medalist and Finalists

Submitted by John E. Dolbow on Tue, 04/28/2015 - 01:25

The Annual Robert J. Melosh Competition for the Best Student Paper in Finite Element Analysis was held last Friday, April 24, on the campus of Duke University.

The winner of the 2015 Melosh Medal is Maurizio Chiaramonte, from Stanford University, for his paper “The H-Version of the Method of Auxiliary Mapping for Higher Order Solutions of Crack Problems.”

Maurizio was selected as the winner on the basis of both his written paper and his oral presentation. The other finalists at the 2015 competition were:

How to get OP=MOD with Python script in Abaqus?

Submitted by mikechy on Mon, 04/27/2015 - 19:11

I have the fixed boundary conditions in the previous step. In the next step I need to modify BC. For this I use setValuesInStep in Python script, but get OP=NEW instead of OP=MOD, as I want. Any idea how to get the desired OP=MOD by using Python? Thanks in advance.

The Scientific Computation Research Center (www.scorec.rpi.edu) at Rensselaer is seeking a highly qualified post-doctoral research associate to develop and apply automated and adaptive computational solid mechanics methods for multiple application areas with an emphasis on evolving geometry problems such as the modeling of additive manufacturing and material failure.

(σ1-σ3) VS Axial strain in abaqus

Submitted by digvijay_kumar_singh on Mon, 04/27/2015 - 11:57

research

I am modeling drained triaxial compression test. I modeled soil as cylindrical part in abaqus. Bottom part of cylinder is fixed and on top displacement is applied. I used Dynamic/explicit steps. After running model and getting .odb file, couldn't match stress strain diagram from experimental results. I don't know whether i am calculating stress in right way or not. Can anybody guide me in this regard? Advanced thanks for your reply.

Elasto Plastic model for ballast material

Submitted by navaratnarajah on Mon, 04/27/2015 - 07:41

I am new to Abaqus, and moddlling railroad ballast material in abaqus for cyclic loading. Could you please anyone let me know what is best elsto plastic model in Abaqus I can use for the ballast material.

Thank you.

viscoelastic modelling in abaqus

Submitted by h.civil on Mon, 04/27/2015 - 07:01

hello

im a new abaqus user and i want to model a viscoelastic material (asphalt) in abaqus . i have uniaxial creep test data for characterize viscoelastic behaviour . my question is how can i enter viscoelastic parameters in abaqus?is there any way to put creep test data directely in abaqus??

in abaqus for modelling viscoelastic material in time domain there are three ways:

1)combined test data

2)shear test data

3)volumetric test data
