Since ABAQUS 6.8, a new feature has been added to the combined hardening material input.

Let's assume a combined Kinematic and Isotropic hardening case, such as those happen in metals.

"Half cycle" uni-axial test results has been utilized to model the yield stress-plastic strain behavior as well as the Kinematic behavior of the metals.

In the same user interface,  there is an option to choose the number of back stresses.

Is the number of 1 back stress is equivalen to the case of linear kinematic hardening (Ziegler's)?

I'm doing a research on anisotropic yield criteria for a FCC alloy and I have to do biaxial tensile experiments to get the yield locus in the biaxial stress space.I have two kinds of samples: 

         1. metal sheet with dimensions of 150mm x 70mm x 15mm(thickness); 

         2. rod with diameter of 20mm and length of 150mm.

Dear Sir,

I'm doing a literature review on Interactive Simulation Environments. Does anyone have any suggestions for interesting papers to look at? 

 And if you've written one and let me know, I might cite it :-)

Dear alls,

 I am intersting in computational mechanics and now post some references which relate to ansys.

May be you know command KSCON, which is use for make concentration mesh at crack tip. I known how to use this command but very intersting its Ansys APDL code. So I am looking Ansys APDL code for KSCON command. If anybody know code fot that command, could you please send me?

Thank you.

Greetings,

 I need to know how to specify the step in ABAQUS to perform thermal bucking analysis of shell.

Any comment, suggestion or documentation will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I want to model hydroplaning problem in abaqus. how to simulate water component in between tire and a pavement in abaqus.

I want to use either Coupled-Eulerian-Lagrangian algorithm or Aribitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian algorithm at the contact patch but i could find any one of these features in abaqus.

Please tell me in detail, if any one has done this problem in abaqus.

Thanks a lot
