About experimentl methods for observing the anisotropic plastic behavior of FCC alloy

Submitted by Peichen1573 on

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,

 

Interfacial Fracture

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

These notes belong to a course on fracture mechanics

A body consists of two materials bonded at an interface. On the interface there is a crack. The body is subject to a load, causing the two faces of the crack to open and slide relative to each other. When the load reaches a critical level, the crack either extends along the interface, or kinks out of the interface.

Advanced Ansys on Fracture and others

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.

hydroplaning simulation

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
