Bilinear-Law of cohesive element in LS-DYNA

Submitted by salutsun on

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

Submitted by MehdiTU on

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.

Approaching CNT Reinforcing Up-limit by Hydrogen Passivation Induced Dispersion

Submitted by Xiaodong Li on

We have developed a technique, described in Advanced Materials , which combines hydrogen passivation with ultrasonication to successfully disperse multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in both absolute ethanol solution and epoxy resin, overcoming one of the greatest challenges in the application of nanotubes.

Finite Element Modelling of Soft Matter

Submitted by Chris Szalwinski on

I'm interested in developing finite element software for soft matter configurations.  Is there any open source FE software already developed for such materials?  My purpose is to research and develop algorithms that use GPU technology for modelling complex materials on a desktop
