Nano Puncture Resistance Using Nanoindentation

Submitted by NANOVEA on Wed, 04/18/2012 - 03:35

Traditional Puncture Tests are typically used to determine the penetration characteristics of a wide range of protective material such as films, foils or membrane. It is widely used in food and medical industries on applications ranging from food packaging to rubber gloves and needles. The test is preformed like that of a compressive test. A probe, with multiple tip selection, uses increasing load until material is penetrated and load is recorded at failure.

Bilinear-Law of cohesive element in LS-DYNA

Submitted by salutsun on Tue, 04/17/2012 - 00:07

Hello,

I'm coding a user materils for cohesive elemnt in dyna, But I met some problems, hope anyone could give some guidance or help .

I'm trying to code my own user material subroutine for cohesive element in ls-dyna. The cohesive element formulation is already predefined and exists in *SECTION card ( elform=19).

Applying friction induced torque

Abaqus subroutines

Hello,

I am modelling a beam inside a tubular constraint using beam elements in Abaqus explicit dynamic analysis. I used connector elements for creating a radial clearance. The connector can apply axial friction, but I am wondering how to apply friction induced moment. It clearly depnedes on moving direction of the beam. Please let me know what you think about a strategy to model the moment.

Thanks.
