ABAQUS - Contact between a 2D axisymmetric deformable body with an analytical rigid surface

Submitted by jack_luk on

Hello,



I'm trying to figure out how the Interaction Module (surface-to-surface contact) in ABAQUS works. I want to apply a compression force on a 2D axisymmetric

deformable body via an analytical rigid surface(2D and axisymmetric also) - basic stuff. When I launch my simulations,

I get the good strains and stresses at the surface of the body which is in contact with the analytical rigid. Moreover, the reaction

forces and displacement of the analytical surface are adequate.

Physical Foundations of Continuum Mechanics

Submitted by Mubeen on

After many publications and lecture notes, Prof. Ian Murdoch has finally organized much of that material in the form of a book.

I am very hopeful that like Prof. Murdoch's lectures, this monograph will also help the readers to develop a better understanding of the physical aspects of mechanics. It will be a valuable addition to the researchers' personal collection.

Springer Publication- Invitation for chapter in nanomechanical book

Submitted by atiwari on

Dear Friends,

The reputed Springer publication from The Netherlands has given me the responsibility to edit a book titled “Nanomechanical Analysis of High-Performance Materials”.

strain dependent shear modulus

Submitted by Ehsanizadi_civil on

Hi all,

I want to model a soil body which its shear modulus changes with the deviatoric strain.I know it can be introduced in ABAQUS by field variables (defining a field variable). But the question is that how can I tell ABAQUS that the defined variable is the "deviatoric strain" ? 

Thank you beforehand.

A crystal plasticity continuum theory with length scale dependent internal residual stress and free surface effect

Submitted by RaminBabaei on

The long range elastic interaction between dislocations is naturally accounted in
discrete dislocation plasticity through stress field of individual dislocation.
In addition, the dislocation boundaries elastic interaction is considered via
image stress superposition approach in the finite element framework. In current
study these interaction terms are considered in crystal plasticity framework
through length scale dependent internal residual stresses which are arise from

Frequency analysis with Contact constraint

Submitted by sidd04mech on

Hi,

 

I am trying to analysis a model in ABAQUS with a plate bolted to the Bracket top surface at 4 ends. I have to define contact between them (and also bolted at 4 ends) to get the Modal frequency. But When I searched for it, I got the answer that contact doesn't work with Modal analysis as contact is a nonliner problem and Modal Analysis only solves linear problem.

 

Initiating in hybrid composite research?

Submitted by karan dhanjal on

hello everyone..i am a beginner in this field so ultimately seek help in order to escalate in my research.Currently i am working on hybrid composites using graphite filled FRPCs so kindly encourage me and help me make up my mind for better understanding in order to have an effective research.I am concentrating on tribological properties and if there is anything i can possibly implement to make it more profound please guide me so.I am working on my theoratical thesis right now.
