Abaqus simulation

Submitted by phanikumar376 on

hi,

  i am new to abaqus , i working on a simulation of wire drawing process in Abqus explict, i had modeled the die as a Axisymmetric rigid body and the surface as a analytical rigid surface and the wire as a axisymmetric deformable body and i had given the materail properties of wire and define the contact properties between the die surface and the wire surface, when i started the simuation, there is excessive deformation of the elements in the wire, as the elements pass through the die they are trying to regain back. some please help me how to get rid of this issue.

The Virtual Conference on Nanoscale Science and Technology (VCNST) is in fact so much more than just another conference. We have an opportunity together to be explorers as we enter a new era of sharing and dialoguing about science.

List of conferences in contact mechanics and related fields

Submitted by Edwin Vollebregt on

Dear all,

 At our website we maintain a list of upcoming conferences on contact mechanics and related fields, e.g. solid mechanics, tribology, railway vehicle dynamics, etc.

Which conferences and other events do you attend? Send me a note and I'll add them to the list.

Best wishes,

Molecular Dynamics from Solid Mechanics Point of View

Submitted by saurabhdixit1987 on

I am searching for a tutorial or a book which looks into molecular dynamics method from a Solid Mechanics point of view. All I can find are the books written for biophysicists or chemistry. I can find lot of examples on fluids, biomolecules or polymers but none of them are on simple solids or metals.

Can anyone suggests me a book or a tutorial which can get me ready to write a program to simulate a simple tensile test of a metal wire (FCC Al or some simple crystal).

 

UEL ABAQUS Subroutine

Submitted by aida on

Hi,

I'm stucking with my subroutine. May ask anybody to have a look the the file. 

I run a simple model that and try to run it,but an error message was appeared as below;   ***ERROR: USER SUBROUTINE UEL MISSING

 

I don't know what is the problem. I did locate the input (.inp) and user (.f) in the same folder and run it (abaqus job=.... user= ...ff int )

 

Hope to get help from anybody...

Dugdale -Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact zone

Submitted by rdalmeya on

Dear sir

        I am Ravi dalmeya doing Phd from Indian Institute of Technology,Kanpur (India). I am doing work on adhesive elastic wavy  thin film. I have completed 2-D Hertzian contact between cylinder and elastic half space using Abaqus. Now i want to apply Dugdale-Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact zone and i do not know  how to apply  Dugdale-Barenblatt cohesive zone model outside the contact zone.Can you give me some suggestion?



Thanking you
