Enquiry about fracture mechanics simulation using ABAQUS

Submitted by phenixlee on

Hi,

I am very glad to be here.

I want to make some simulation work on the fracture mechanics of thin films. Because the LEEF model is used for bulk materials, I wonder whether it is reasonable to use in on thin films.

Are there some pannels in abaqus can do crack propagation work or some fracture mechanics?

I am a fresh man and look forward for your help.

Course Notes of Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Fluids by Prof. K .J. Bathe

Submitted by Jung W. Hong on

I thought the mechanics community would be interested in the course notes of

Prof. K. J. Bathe on "Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Fluids". This

course was taught at MIT and now is available freely through MIT Open

CourseWare website:

Enjoy!

 

Free software for radial Youngs modulus plots of laminates

Submitted by schuffe on

Hi,

i am looking for a free tool to create radial/radar plot for youngs, shear modulus

and poissons ratio (diagramms showing properties as a function of the angle).

so far i found one excel / vb based one but it is very basic.

Any suggestions?

implementation of mass matrix and stiffness matrix in abaqus using external subroutine

Submitted by lamia009 on

 

 Hi,

I am working on a coupled fluid structure problem , precisley on the elasto-acoustic mode, and i want to make sure that abaqus work with my matrix (stiffness and mass matrix) that i have made by fortran and at the same time i continu using abaqus element to mesh my model,

Any suggestion would be very appreciated

Thanks in advance

Regards
