Plotting stress vs strain curve in abaqus

Submitted by shafquatcd on

Dear All, 

 I am modelling a bridge rubber bearing using hyperelastic material (Rubber) and steel plates in abaqus. i am using mooney-rivlin hyperelastic model for rubber 

After running the analysis . i like to plot the stress vs strain graph for the rubber material only and then compare it with the mooney rivlin model .can anyone tell me how to do it ? 

 I am very new

Interactions between bone cells and their vicinity

Submitted by naili on

The aim of this project is to combine computing and experimental methods to improve our

knowledge in the bone cells interactions with their environment in the context of bone

remodelling. Indeed, bone cells are able to sense their environment and then to adapt

themselves. In this project three main avenues of researches are proposed: i/ to study the mass

transport phenomena in the vicinity of bone cells, that is to say within the pericellular matrix; ii/

About constutive relation of elastic membranes

Submitted by souvenir on

Is there some theory to describe the constitutive relation of elastic membranes?There are lots of papers studying membranes mechanics of cells, but I just want to know the mechanics of ordinary membranes which are simplified from theories of plates and shells, can anyone tell me some papers or textbooks studying this?(I've found a brief description on Allan Bower's web page, but that's too brief...)

hi every body

i have a problem with abaqus,

i model composite laminates using XFEM, but all time get the following error message;

37296 elements have fewer than the required number of integration
points. The elements are identified in element set
ErrElemMissingIntegPoints.

any one can help me

thank you

best regards
