HELP!

Submitted by AminBakhtiari on

 Hi my friends!

I hope everythin's ok! 

As I previously said I'm doing some researches about fully developed turbulent flow inside an annuli.Now I've faced some problems. Does anyone know how can I calculate Darcy friction factor for a fully developed turbulent regime inside an annuli not using colebrook equations and moody diagram? is there any other way?

I'd be really thankful if anyone could help me .

Measurement of the Bauschinger Behavior of Sheet Metals by Three-point Bending Springback Test with Pre-strained Strips

Submitted by Shunlai.Zang on

In numerical simulation of sheet metal
forming process, the cyclic mechanical behavior of metallic sheet is
required to calibrate the material parameters of the combined
isotropic-kinematic hardening model. Therefore the development of
experimental device and method is an important work in order to
measure the cyclic mechanical behavior of metallic sheet. There are
several experimental devices which can measure this cyclic mechanical
behavior of sheet metal mainly to measure the Bauschinger behavior.
Often, these experiments can be classified into three main
categories: (i) in-plane tension-compression test; (ii) in-plane
cyclic simple shear test; (iii) bending-reverse bending test.

In this paper, a novel approach is

Global buckling in a 3D beam ABAQUS

Submitted by miguelcosta on

Hello everyone, 



I want to reproduce global buckling of a 3D column (simply supported) using shell elements independently of its length. 

I know that each section of the column should behave like a rigid body but I can't do it, so by doing the buckling analysis I get other buckling modes (like local buckling). 

My initial idea was to use rigid body (tie) constraint in some sections (uniformly spaced) but what I got was some local buckling in the extremities of the column. 



New view of DNA

Submitted by bin.chen on

Recently, the classical view of DNA as an isotropic elastic rod has been questioned. Here we model DNA as an elastic rod inlaid with fibrils, based on which we have made prediction that is in consistency with experiments. Our analysis suggests that the bending of short DNAs can be facilitated if there exists a specific structural heterogeneity.

Ice failure simulation

Submitted by santhosh_ajayy on

Hi,

  I want to simulate Ice failure simulation in abaqus. In my problem, ice is deposited between 2 components.

  While I am trying to move one compoents, the ice is restricting the movement of the components. Now I want to find out the force at which the ice starts to failure .

  any methods are available n abaqus., Plz let me know if any body knows abt this kind of simulation.

 

Thanks in advance

Is anyone familiar with deriving shape functions for different beam end conditions?

Submitted by santhosh_ajayy on

I am doing my research in nonlinear vibration of beams. In that research, I have to derive the shape function for different end conditions of the beam. Regarding this,I need some ideas. Are there books I can reference?

Thank you for your help.

I would like to use condensation to calculate the normal modes of
a structure. These grids are connected to the structure through RBE3 (master
grid). Let me know if there's a way to use the master grids of RBE3 elements in
the A-SET?
