J integral and Q parameter
Does anyone know how I can calculate J integral from descrete displacement field, stress and strain data which I estimated from experiment?
1073740940 error- ABAQUS
Hi everyone,
I'm using UEL and I'm getting this error when I'm trying to run the job "aborted with system error code 1073740940". Does anyone have any idea how can I fix it?
I'm using ABAQUS 6.12 with a core i7 PC.
I would appreciate if you could help me with this.
Best Regards,
Call for abstracts: IMECE 2015 Symposium 12-47: Sandia Fracture Challenge
Researchers and engineers with expertise in fracture mechanics are invited to attend this special symposium to learn the outcome of the Sandia Fracture Challenge 2 (SFC2), which was launched in the summer of 2014. Discussions regarding novel modeling approaches for predicting the onset and process of ductile tearing will also be held.
How to define initial stiffness matrix for cohesive elements in ABAQUS
I am trying to model adhesive failure using cohesive elements in Abaqus. I need to define the elastic behaviour of elements using traction separation criteria.
So I wanted to know what is the E/Enn, G1/Ess and G2/Ett values for my adhesive(E=1650 MPa)?
Minisymposium on Generalized/Extended Finite Element Methods
As part of the USACM's 13th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM13) to be held in San Diego, California, July 26-30, 2015, we are organizing a minisymposium on
advances and applications in Generalized/Extended Finite Element Methods.
How to calculate back stress in abaqus?
I am doing a fatigue analysis for a component which is manufactured by stamping simulation From the stamping simulation results , I have taken plastic strain alone. I am doing a nonlinear static analysis in abaqus. I am using the below command *INITIAL CONDITIONS,TYPE=HARDENING,SECTION POINTS If I am using this command, it is asking back stress value. What is meant by back stress? How to calculate the back stress ? Can anybody answer for this question?
Essential parameter/properties masonry structure modelling (ABAQUS)
hai, im haidar (undergraduate-civil engineering from Malaysia)
Kindly please help me,
currently im working on my thesis which majorly focused on the dynamic analysis of masonry (Concrete Masonry Unit) multistorey building structure,
presently, im modelling the 3 story building (including ground floor) of masonry building with block size of (200x400mm) including 10mm thickness of mortar joint
(macro-modelling) using the ABAQUS program. However, im facing few issues and confusion regarding on masonry modelling:
