Stabilization method in local instability problems

Submitted by Ken Lippmann on

Dear all,

 in commercial FE codes, such as ABAQUS, ANSYS, there is option to get convergence in quasi-static analysis by using artificial damping factor. I tried to dig their documentation about this method, but it is somewhat sparse. Could some body recommend me some literature about this topic so that I can gain a better understanding about it.

 

I thank you in advance.

 

Sincerely yours,

Ken

Pre-stress modal analysis in ABAQUS for circular cylindrical shell

Submitted by anishiitk on

Dear all,

I am trying to perform a pre-stress modal analysis of a cylindrical shell in ABAQUS, and I am unable to transfer data from step-1 to step-2. Due to this
results are the same as the modal analysis of the beam without the
static force.

 

Anybody know the solution of this kind of problem, kindely let me know..

Thanking you in advance
