ABAQUS

Submitted by k_baskey on

Hi,

 

I am doing project in Journal Bearing. I want to run Contact Analysis in ABAQUS to understand the Tribological properties. Could you please help me to learn the Contact Analysis in ABAQUS.

 Thanking you.

 

Regards,

Basker. K 

Creation of CRACK in 3D GEOMETRY

Submitted by ravikumar04333 on

I am doing a project in FRACTURE MECHANICS.I completed doing the TASK in 2D geometries now i am facing a problem of creation of CRACK in 3D.. The most important thing is i need to execute in ANSYS only through GUI not through CODING.....PLZZZZZ....HELP ME....... I am attaching the MODEL also ... The model is a PRESSURE VESSEL..... Plz... help ...me......

 

PLEASE FIND THE ATTACHEMENTS BELOW OF MY MODELS........

fluid statics, (behaviour of lighter & heavier bodies in water) at constant acceleration

Submitted by petroengr on

If a car filled with water is accelerated at uniform rate, and a heavy object is hanged by a string from the top of the car and a balloon with a string from the bottom of the car. What would be the direction of deflection of balloon & the heavy object. I would appreciate if someone could explain to me the phenomena of deflection, which would be helpful for me to better understand the topic please.

Swell induced surface instability of confined hydrogel layers

Submitted by Rui Huang on

A previous work suggested a critical condition to form surface creases in elastomers and gels. For elastomers, the critical condition seems to have closed a gap between experimental observations (e.g., by bending a rubber block) and the classical instability analysis by Biot. For gels, however, experiments have observed a wide range of critical swelling ratios, from around 2 to 3.7. Here we present a linear perturbation analysis for swollen hydrogels confined on a rigid substrate, which predicts critical swelling ratios in a similar range.

Pin problem in Abaqus.

Submitted by Badis on

Hi

I have a quite (i think) easy problem to solve. Its a truss bar problem that is connected with pins where I just need to investigate the displacment(u).

(its a triangle with a bar in the middle, upper chord is planar and the middle bar is vertical.)



My problem is just that i have never used any pin function in abaqus.

Crack-tip field

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

These notes were initially written when I taught fracture mechanics in spring 2010.  The title of the notes was then "stress intensity factor".  In revising the notes for the class in 2014, I have changed the title of the notes to "crack-tip field".
