Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials now accepts MATLAB figure files

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

You can enrich your online articles by providing supplementary MATLAB figure files with the .FIG file extension. These files will be visualized using an interactive viewer that allows readers to explore your figures within the context of the article. The FIG files can be uploaded in our online submission system, and will also be available for downloading from your online article on SciVerse ScienceDirect.

Run ABAQUS subroutines written in Fortran

Submitted by Jingwen Zhang on

Dear colleagues,

 I am a beginner in using ABAQUS subroutines, and currently come into the problem of running ABAQUS subroutines written in Fortran.

I have installed ABAQUS 6.11-1, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, and Intel Visual Fortran Studio XE 2011 on my computer. However, when I run the test codes, there are the following errors:

Brittle cracking in brittle materials

Submitted by surot on

Hi there,

 I am trying to simulate a crack opening process in ABAQUS. I start up from a simple model of plate with a notch subjected to tension. I would like to see the crack opening. To model a brittle mnaterial behaviour I have added a brittle cracking with sub-option brttle failure and brittle shear.

Please look at dat file:

*Heading

  *Node

  *Element, type=CPS3

  *Element, type=CPS4R

  *Nset, nset=ASSEMBLY_PART-1-1__PICKEDSET2

  *Elset, elset=ASSEMBLY_PART-1-1__I1

Modeling of Viscoelasticity with Hypoelasticity constitutive equations

Submitted by Rotimi Adeleye on

Hi all,

I'm trying to model high temperature viscoelasticity using hypoelastic constitutive equations. I'm not sure of how to include the rotation tensor in the generalized viscoelastic equation.

kindly advise me.

Thank you very much.
