Submitted by Laure Ballu on
5th International Conference on Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues (ICMoBT 2013) - Sitges, Spain 8-12 December 2013. To submit your papers, go to www.mechanicsofbiomaterials.com
Topics include:

-Hard tissues and materials (e.g. bone, teeth, mineralized biomaterials such as armors)

-Soft tissues and materials (e.g. cartilage, tendon, silk, elastin, organs)

-Natural, biologically inspired and biomimetic materials (including biomimicking materials)

Stress-Strain curve for Concrete Damaged Plasticity in Abaqus

Submitted by parthchoksi on

Hello,

 

I am using Concrete Damaged Plasticity model. My parameters are correct but I am not able to get the desired stress-strain curve for my model.

Can anyone help me with how do I plot the stress strain curve for it (Nominal Stress vs Strain, Reaction force vs displacement or anything else)?

I want to know the exact procedure to do it.

Thanks in advance. 

Need Help for Abaqus/CAE ( best method for fatigue test for tensile test for a number of cycle)

Submitted by reddy8929 on

Dear friends, i current doing a project work on testing fatigue life of superelastic nitinol. And since i am very new in using abaqus for testing the simulation, i seeking help from people around here to ask for method to test the work. My objective is to set a maximum elongation for 1%-6% of elongation and test for 40,000 cycle if it can work for this amount of cycle..

i Hope anyone can help me as i need to finish this project in order to graduate and i didnt get any single help from regarding this software from my side..

ABAQUS physical memory problem.

Submitted by lt1235811090 on

Hi everyone.

I met a problem in ABAQUS. When I try to solve the same problem with implicit method and explicit method, theoretically, the explcit method requires less memory than implicit method, but for the same mesh density, I can not solve it with explicit method for the not enough physical memory problem, while the implicit method is able to solve it. And for the explicit method, how to edit the memory? How to explain this phenomenon?

Thanks.
