Micro Scratch Testing CrN Coating on Titanium Alloy

Submitted by NANOVEA on

Specific Coatings are used to further increase performance of titanium alloy parts at elevated temperatures. More specifically, Chromium Nitride (CrN) Coatings are designed to perform under conditions of high load and temperature. By using scratch testing it is possible to detect premature adhesive failure of the CrN coating in real-life applications.

This is a preprint that is going to appear on Applied Physics Letters. It is somewhat related to a paper by Kaushik Dayal on complex crystalline structure via phase field simulation that was posted here.

Material Subroutine in LS DYNA

Submitted by bhargavasista on

Hi all,

 I have developed a viso-hyperelastic material model, and now I am trying to implement it in LS DYNA for which I need to write a sub routine. Since I am developing a subroutine for the first time, I am finding it a bit challenging. I have enough documentation for doing this in ABAQUS but not for LS DYNA. I wanted to know what is the major difference between subroutines written for ABAQUS and LS DYNA? Or is there too much of difference to be even compared? It would be of great help for me if you could answer this question for me. Thank you very much

Stiffness with loss of material

Submitted by vishnusworld on

Dear All

I am modeling a workpiece supported in fixtures and being machined. I use the FEM ( Ansys) to simulate this set up. I need to know at the stiffness of wp at the wp-fixture contact point  . Stiffness is found by applying unit force at one contact point while fixing all others.. Inverse of displaceemnt gives the stiffness in that direction. I have two questions reg this.

Nonlocal Damage implementation using ABAQUS UEL

Submitted by hadi on

Hi everyone,



In order to simulate nonlocal damage in trabecular bone structures in
ABAQUS, I need to implement the constitutive laws into the user element
subroutine (UEL), since it is not possible to implement nonlocal FE in
UMAT, as far as I know!



I would be very much grateful if someone, who has experience in this
regard, esp how to implement 3D elements, e.g. C3D8, into a UEL code,
shares some knowledge.



Best,



Hadi
