Arc length method - Implementation Issues

Submitted by nizanth on

Hi all,

     i am doing a material nonlinear problem.  I have used NR , which is giving good results till near 'limit point' and after that its giving peaks and troughs.  From the literature  I got to know that I should use arc length method (ALM) instead of NR for strain softening problems.  I am using MATLAB

1) Is there any existing code module for Arc length method which can be directly incorporated in my FE code?  In MATLAB central there is a code but its usable only when we have the analytical expressions.

Problem relating to Contact Pressure in ABAQUS Subroutine

Submitted by rmbwang on
research

I have already obtained the contact pressure (CPRESS) in the ABAQUS model.

NOW, I want to introduce a subroutine in ABAQUS which enables setting the contact pressure as input information, since contact pressue is the intial condition for another model which will incorporate with the existing model. I wonder if anyone can provide some suggestions on which subroutine can read the CPRESS (CSTRESS) as input information.

Many thanks!

PhD Scholarship
computational mechanics

Dear iMechanicians, 

I have a PhD Studentship available for UK settled status residents.

Settled status in the UK, meaning they have no restrictions on how long they can stay and been 'ordinarily resident' in the UK for 3 years prior to the start of the grant. This means they must have been normally residing in the UK (apart from temporary or occasional absences) and not been residing in the UK wholly or mainly for the purpose of full-time education. (This does not apply to UK or EU nationals).

Two PhD positions are currently available in the Computational Laboratory for the Mechanics of Interfaces at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville (http://clmi.utk.edu). Research topics are in the following areas:

 

1. Modeling of aluminum alloys using dislocation density based crystal plasticity methods.

2. Fracture in composite materials using a Discontinuous Galerkin method for debonding

 

Periodic boundary condition on non-rectangular RVE

Submitted by afallah on

Dear friends,
Hi. I'm working on multiscale modeling of soft tissues. For micromechanical modeling of the tissue i consider an RVE with sinusoidal edges as figure 1. 

I imposed periodic boundary conditions on the RVE using corner nodes as master nodes and define the displacement of the other nodes on the boundary related to these master nodes displacements using constraint equations as figure 2.
