Conditionning

Submitted by mohammedlamine on

Convergence of Numerical solution may depend on the conditionning of the problem's matrices.

An ill-conditionned matrix produce singulariy cases. This is due to bad shaped elements in

structural mechanics: nearly degenerated elements with zero area (in 2D) or zero volume (in 3D)

The conditionning can be analyzed by numerical algorithms or existing commands in order to

detect these problems.

 

orthotropic plates analysis

Submitted by hrbeu221 on

Hi, please help me on the simulation on the orthotropic material in ABAQUS. I have the parameters for the material density=1584;

Ex=127.9e9

Ey=10.27e9

muxy=0.22;

muyx=0.0177;

Gxy=7.312e9;How can i use the orthotropic or engineering constant to simulate the material. I want to calculate frequency for orthotropic plates.

Material Deposition and Element Activation Deactivation

Submitted by khalidnas on

I'm student working on welded Pipes.  I used DFLUX routine in
Abaqus/Standard. I need help regarding material deposition so that
element ahead to the heat source should be progressively deactived as
the torch moves and behind to the heat source should be continously
activated. I'm new user of abaqus. Kindly help me.

I'll be really thankful for your cooperation.

Effect of fiber arrangement on mechanical properties of short fiber reinforced composites

Submitted by Zuoqi Zhang on

2-D "tension-shear chain" model (Ref.1-3) is well known successfully capturing the basic mechanical features of staggered structures in shell-like biomaterials. Our recent paper appeared in Comp. Sci. Tech. developed a three-dimensional (3D) "tension-shear chain" theoretical model to predict the mechanical properties of unidirectional short fiber reinforced composites, and especially to investigate the distribution effect of short fibers.
