Description for ABAQUS Assignment

Submitted by John M. Kolinski on

For my semester project, I will investigate equilibrium geometries of ripples in an elastic sheet. In order to do so, I will need to learn how to study out of plane bending of a thin membrane with ABAQUS. The project can be divided into the following stages:

1. Set up the membrane geometry model in ABAQUS

2. Apply relevant boundary conditions and tractions

3. Set up the job

4. Run the job, and post-process

1 PK, 2PK vs true, nominal stress

Submitted by Andreas Burger on

Hi,

 if I have a material model defined in cauchy stress then I use test data with true stress (calculated from nominal stress: sigma_true=sigma_nom(1+epsilon_nom).

If I wanted to use nominal stress data, which stress tensor would I have to use to define my material model? First or second Piola Kirchhoff?

Hi, I've a doubt in ANSYS

Submitted by tjasminmary on

My doubt is in transient dynamic analysis.

take a simple model of 40*2*1 m dimensions.Applying brick45 material. with e=2.069e11N/m2

poissons ratio= .3

density= 7830kg/m3

first performing modal analysis with just arresting displacements in 1 side in subspace method and getting 10 sets of frequencies..

then performing transient dynamic analysis in mode superposition method with dynamic loads.and solve it
