Finite element analysis of contact pressures entre Human Buttock Tissue and seat cushion

Submitted by BUI on

Hi everyone,

I am trying to simulate with ABAQUS/Explicit for human buttock and seat cushion. I have a problem when I put the mass on Buttock Tissue with 40kg.

How can I put the mass on Buttock tissue in ABAQUS?

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Crack Propagation in Bamboo's Hierarchical Cellular Structure

Submitted by Yang Lu on

Bamboo, as a natural hierarchical cellular material, exhibits remarkable mechanical properties including excellent flexibility and fracture toughness. As far as bamboo as a functionally graded bio-composite is concerned, the interactions of different constituents (bamboo fibers; parenchyma cells; and vessels.) alongside their corresponding interfacial areas with a developed crack should be of high significance.
