I want to work on delamination and cohesive zone model. I would also like to model this in Abaqus. I’ve read the material available there but it’s not adequate. I would like to know the concepts and fundamentals of the cohesive zone model and its implementation. Can anyone explain this? Please suggest some good literature/books on this for beginners.

Hi, i am trying to test a bulk metallc glass VUMAT with a simple compression test simulation. But since VUMAT is a Abaqus Explicit subroutine, that means I must set my compression simulation with setting of Abaqus Explicit right? So far I only have the experience in conducting compression test simualtion using ABAQUS Standard setting like static general step and surface-to-surface contact (standard). I don't know how to set up a simple compression test simulation with Abaqus Explicit settings, can anyone help me please?
Thanks and regards.

Hi all,
There will be a 5 day - course on Advanced and Bio-Inspired Nanomechanics at CISM Udine, Italy.

Dear all,
I want to model crack initiation and propagation for a user defined material, using Abaqus. When I try to model , I get the following error:
A MATERIAL PROPERTY THAT IS NOT ALLOWED WITH A USER MATERIAL HAS BEEN SPECIFIED
when I take out critical damage initiation, the model works fine; which means that it doesnt allow me to couple UMAT with crack initiation. Does anyone know how to handle this problem?
All the best,
Panos
HI,
I am performing a non linear buckling analysis in ansys using shell 181 element. My geometry is made up of composite material and has a shell structure. The shell is subjected to torsion at one end so as to buckle throughout it length. the other end is fully constraint.
My problem is how to apply this torsional moment at the free end.
anybody please help me.
Hi all,
When we do a non-linear buckling analysis, initially we introduce some imperfections (mode shapes of mode 1, 2 etc) from eigen buckling analysis. Then we multiply the load with eigenvalue of the first mode. This load is applied on the structure having imperfections. Now put on non-linear geometric option and run the analysis. At bifurcation point we get non-linear buckling load. Non-linear buckling load comes close to eigen buckling value.
Decription of my problem is as follows.
Hi all,
I am working with an orphan mesh of a finger made up of:
1) elastic epidermis layer
2) viscoelastic dermis layer
3) hyperelastic fats layer
4) bone
NLGEOM is turned on.
Tie constraints are used between the layers and the bone
I wish to make this finger 'touch' a cubic object however the job always fails as it is not able to converge.
Will anyone be able to advise on this matter?
All,
I am writing to introduce DNAD, a Fortran module I wrote for automatic differentiation of analysis codes written in Fortran including those legacy codes written in Fortran 77. Although only implementation using Fortran 90/95 was carried out, it is straightward to translate it to a language you like such as c/c++.
