Post-doctoral position: 2D/3D full-field measurement based identification for extreme scales
The Division of Physical Sciences and Engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) invites applications for a Postdoctoral fellow in Mechanical Engineering at the Composite and Heterogeneous Material Analysis and Simulation Laboratory (COHMAS, http://cohmas.kaust.edu.sa).
how to model masonry wall in abaqus
here we are to tell you how we can model masonry in abaqus cae.
there are 3 ways:
1-micro modeling
2- macro modeling
3- micro-macro modeling(HOMOGENIZATION)
micro modeling;
in this method all parts should be modeled in abaqus separately.
but notice that don't use shell to modeling grout because of 3d properties of grout and cohesive characteristics.
this method is suitable for small masonry panels with 2-3 layers of brick.
Help Required for cam clay soil model
Hello everyone,
I am trying to simulate the force vs displacement response when cam clay soil model containing rigid foundation is acted by the concentrated load at the interface of rigid body with the soil. I don't know why i am receiving "time increment error".
Input file
Abaqus Standard /General contact with penetration
Dear Colleague,
I am running Abaqus Examle Problems Manual 1.1.18 - The self contact on rubber gasket.
I tried to convert the self contact and surface contact definition to a general contact definition. However, the rigid surface just penatrate the model like this shown below.
Left image is the result for the inp from manual. The right one is the result for compuation with general contact.
Does somebody here want to discuss or maybe explain this for me ?
Thank you in advance.
Shape Functions of a Constant Strain Tetrahedron
Hello,
I have developped a New Method to Compute Numerically the Shape Functions of a Constant Strain Tetrahedron from the Geometrical Information of its Vertices using the Planes' Equations Defining the Barycentric Coordinates versus the Cartesian Coordinates. The Algorithm for Solving the Linear Systems of Equations has been Implemented Efficiently with the Partial Pivoting Gauss LU Method for any arbitrary Shaped and Non-Degenerated Element.
