Fracture Toughness Anisotropy in Silicon Carbide

Submitted by Matt Pharr on

Here is a paper that I wrote my freshman year of college.  It discusses some observations about fracture toughness in a form of silicon carbide that had potential use in nuclear fission and fusion reactors.  It was published in the Department of Energy's Journal of Undergraduate Research.

ABAQUS/Standard - 2D beam elements vs 3D shell elements

Submitted by bilim on

Dear collegues,

I am modeling deformation of a simple triangular shape, /\, which is constrained at one end and the other end is free to move on the x direction. There is a displacement loading on the top corner and the output is the reaction force on the y direction at the free end.

 I used Abaqus/ Standard and modeled this problem in 2D beam elements and 3D shell elements. The material is aluminum with plasticity and nonlinear geometry is on.

MECHANICAL ENGG&abaqus contact analysis

Submitted by arasu_1983 on

dear all,

            this is arasu, i am using abaqus to find out wear using contact analysis.my model rotating disc over the pin(pin on disc ) in real time.so i want    t o simulate rotating disc  at some anular velocity.if any body have some solved problem about ratating geomentry please send me.

thank you

regards

Arasu
