Curve Fitting for Viscoplastic (Anand) Model in ANSYS

Submitted by SaiSudharsanan on

Hello everyone, 

            I would like to know if it is possible to use TBFT option in ANSYS to curve-fit Anand's model parameters using experimental force-displacement data.

     I am aware that the ANSYS manual  has description for hyperelastic and even chaboche model, but is there an established procedure to obtain Anand model parameters using experimental curve fitting ? 

 

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

I've proposed a new Stack Exchange site called "Theoretical and Applied Mechanics" for people intersted in mechaics related issues.  The current link is  http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/67726/theoretical-and-applied-mechanics?referrer=73mdEQ3M_DdhwHImwznaBQ2

For the proposal to be accepted to go to the next stage the site will need the  following:

Sensitivity Analysis with Abaqus

Submitted by Nan Hu on

Hi, all

I'm working on a structural optimization problem invovled with running numiercal analysis with Abaqus. Therefore, it is impossible for us to use the direct differentiation method to calculate the sensitivity of design variable. But I guess there should a way to get sensitivity analysis done numerically with Abaqus. Anyone know such information or give me a short instruction on that, I would highly appreciate! 

Best Regards,

Nan
