Unit cell model

Submitted by Gouse on

unit cell
two phase

Hi,

I have modeled a two phase unit cell with one inclusion in a soft matrix. I have applied appropriate periodic boundary conditions. Load is applied a displacement. I have solved the problem using FEA through ABAQUS. Now I want macroscopic stress-strain response of the material.

What I have done is, taken the Reaction force and divided it by the area and similary displacement and didvided by length, will this give me the stress-strain response or do I have to use some homogenisation methods.

Thank You

Crystal Plasticity

Submitted by Mubeen on
research

I am interested in the computational crystal plasticity (elastic-viscoplastic models), and I intend to start working in this area. Therefore, I am looking for some review papers--

1- which provide an overview of the state-of-art in this area (a summary of the recognised single crystal plasticity models).

2- about the application of single crystal plasticity using micromechanics based  multiscale FEM for the prediction of texture evolution.

--------

I will be very thankful if sombody can answer these queries.

Abaqus CPT with cohesion.

Abaqus CPT with cohesion.

Hi all...

I am new to abaqus. I have to model cone penetration test (CPT) in abaqus.

I am using drucker prager plasticity and hardening to model the soil.

The cohesion (d) decreases as plastic strain increases. But how do i input this into the model ?

Drucker prager hardening inputs have yield stress and plastic strain columns.

So from cohesion, how do i get the yield stress values ?
