Factors militating against the current requirement for cathodic protection of metallic structures

Submitted by oseghale lucas… on

 Introduction:  

As corrosion proceeds largely unaided by external loads but
results from chemical reactions between the structure (metal) and the
environment, there is therefore a need of identifying and discussing factors
that can possible affect the current density for cathodic protection.

ABAQUS VUMAT

Submitted by bagheriasl on

Dear All

I have writed a elastoplastic VUMAT to analyse a model in abaqus explisit code but after the analysis was finished, i can not observe the plastic strain conutors in it, in the onther word there is not PE option at odb field output. I rewuest you to give a favor to me. I am confused

thanks

Technology Brief: Optimization of Turbine Blade Dovetail Geometries Using Abaqus and Isight

Submitted by SIMULIA on

The reliability of a gas or steam turbine is strongly
dependent on the blade structural design. 
Turbine blades are subjected
to very strenuous environments such as high temperatures, high stresses, and a
potentially high vibration environment. To avoid blade failures, they must be
designed to withstand these conditions.
