Madam,
I want to make a simple composite structures of concrete embedded steel in abaqus. (If I am wrong kindly say) I have creted a "dependent" instances in the assemble module after doing the mesh. Then I have made the interaction with the step-1 and made a "surface to surface contect (standard)" having the master (concrete) and slave (steel) with contact (friction) property.
A dielectric elastomer is capable of largevoltage-induced deformation, particularly when the voltage is applied on theverge of snap-through instability. Thispaper describes a model to show that the snap-through instability is markedlyaffected by both the extension limit of polymer chains and the polarizationsaturation of dipoles. The model mayguide the search for high-performance dielectric elastomer transducers.

As we known, boundary element method (BEM) is a quite popular numerical method. But there are some problems. My research fields are computational mechanics and BEM (including fast BEM). We can discuss these fields in this blogs. I am waiting for you! Thanks
Accurate Implicit Time Integration in Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis
Using an effective time marching procedure is an important aspect in the implicit finite element analysis
of nonlinear dynamic problems. Here, we demonstrate some of the difficulties that can arise through an
example involving contact chatter and fluid structure interaction:
Themes covered include
The topic of research must include a biological surface as part of the interface (eg articular cartilage, skin), have a direct impact on biological function (eg prosthetic joints, dental implants), or involve the implementation of natural lubrication in man-made systems (biomimetics).

Hi all,
How can we model material with linearly varying modulus with respect to distance. We cannot use field variable dependence as distance is not a field variable in abaqus.
please tell if any body knows Step by Step procedure how to execute the problem described below....
My project is "Study on the behaviour of FRP strengthened concrete structures subject to cyclic load".
concrete 1500 x 100 x 200
CFRP: 460 x 50
Adhesieve: epoxy(sikadur 30): 460 x 50 x 0.01
Steel: 1500mm, 4mm radius, circular profile.
I have to do the following Steps using Abaqus/explicit
1. Modelling
2. Material Property
3. Assigning Sections
4. Defining Step
Hi Frns,
I'm doing project entitled, " Study on the behaviour of CFRP strengthened concrete structures subject to cyclic loading" both experimental and analytical part using Abaqus. ( All dimensions are in terms of SI units[N,mm,s])
concrete dimensions: 1500 x 100 x 200 (L x B x D), M40 grade,
