Fracture using cohesive elements

Submitted by yashaswi.prateek on

Hi everyone , 

I'm Yashaswi Prateek  doing by final year project on fracture in composites using ABAQUS. I'm new to ABAQUS and have been trying to do some tutorials to get a better understanding of the software. After basic tutorials , i've started trying to generate a model using cohesive elements where i got stuck up. I have tried the procedure in Abaqus user manual and is showing some errors regarding interaction properties and creating a step.  It would be great help if someone could help me regarding how to model with cohesive elements.

My name is Ali , I have a PhD degree in materials engineering, Mechanical Technology Department , Rey Juan Carlos University , Madrid , Spain.

My thesis was focused on the phenomenon of stress cracking. Also, i have previous experience working on nanocomposite materials. I am looking forward for a research fellowship.

I am familiar with, mechanical testing, fracture of HDPE resins, physical-chemical characterization of polymers, tribological behavior of nanocomposites, FEM analysis (ANSYS)

UMAT in multiscale modeling

Submitted by yax on

Hi all,

I am using multiscale modeling in my analysis. This is what I am trying to do:

-After solving the RVE problem on microscale, I got the stress-strain relationship realated to my RVE and now I need to create a UMAT soubroutines for abaqus in order to call it at the integration points of the macro model. 

Is there a possibility to create a UMAT from stress-strain curve related to a representative volume element? How can I do that? Could you please give me an hint?

Thank you very much in advance for your help

Best regards
