Tire-Water-Pavement contact problem

Submitted by pujitha_san on

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

Which program? ABAQUS, Comsol or Ansys

Submitted by Giacomo on

Hi all,



I am a PhD student at the first months. I have to choose a finite element software to study impact effect on biological soft tissues. After some web researches the softwares which seem to be more suitable are ABAQUS, Comsol Multiphisics and Ansys.

My intention is to develop an user defined material model considering the material as anisotropic porous-visco-elastic.

I would appreciate some suggestions/opinion. I am specially interested in dynamical simulations.

Stress triangular mesh

Submitted by Barbara_2010 on

Hi all,

I have some
problems with understanding correctly the stress (e.g. Cauchy stress)
calculated by Abaqus. The boundary value problem consists of a square
where the top side is displaced up by 20% of its original height while
the bottom side is fixed. Now when I use a quadrilateral mesh the
result is clear. But what happens when a triangular mesh is used? Why
some triangles have a negative stress? In the figures the S11
component of the Cauchy stress tensor is plotted.

Best regards,

Barbara

Physical significance of higher order spatial derivatives of displacement (longitudnal loading)

Submitted by rpd25 on

Hi,

I have encountered fourth order space derivative in the PDE derived for smart material.I am looking for the physical significance of higher order spatial derivative of displacment in longitudnal loading. In the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory (lateral loading), the fourth order space derivative referes to the load. 

In longitudinal loading, the first order space derivative is strain i.e  du/dx .What are the significane of higher order space derivatives d^2 u/dx^2 , d^3 u/dx^3 , d^4 u/dx^4?

Please share your expertise.

Thanks in advance.

Running python script through matlab

Submitted by cgouder on

Dear Friends , 

                  I am using an optimisation algorithm in matlab.I need to start abaqus from Matlab ( Using abaqus job=jobname), later i want to run a python code to extract some history outputs and feed into matlab. The process involves many iterations . Can anybody tell me how i can run the python script from Matlab ?.

 Thanks and Best Regards  

Experimental data showing effect of stress state

Submitted by anuradha on

While there is a lot of experimental literature available on the effects of stress-state on ductile failure under monotonic loading, corresponding studies on fatigue mostly involves bending and torsion type of combination loading. Unfortunately, such a loading corresponds to one of the principal stresses being negative and therefore not as critical. We could find only two references which show clear effect of biaxial state of stress in a pressurised cylinder subject to additional axial load (Biaxial-tension fatigue of inconel 718, it is a report in UIUC 1989).
