GTN Model

Submitted by Mohamed H.Miloud on

hello

I identified a set of parameters of the Gurson model. How to use these parameters to simulate the propagation of a crack in a CT specimen?. In another way how to simulate the propagation of a crack with the GTN model?

thanks!

reading nodal values (EFENRRTR) into a UMAT routine

Submitted by jodavies03 on

Hi,



I am using the VCCT method to model crack propagation and I am finding the value of G/Gc is too large for any sensible time step (1e-25).



I am attempting to incorporate a time incrementation scheme into my UMAT which monitors EFENRRTR and modifies the time step (or PNEWDT) according to it's value.
