modelling of axisymmetric cold extrusion die by abaqus

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

 my problem is simulation of axisymmetric cold extrusion die. the die is conical, i have to determine die pressure, ram force and temprature in billet as well in die, plz see attached file and see simulation figure, my problem is same as in file,i have facing interaction problem in abaqus while solving this problem. plz help me

Hi friends,

I need to transfer stiffness and mass matrices from ABAQUS to Matlab. ABAQUS does generate matrices but those can be re-used by ABAQUS only. Is there a way to use these matrices in matlab. I know about SDT toolbox for matlab and I-MAT but they are costly.

How to change the Navier equations for non-uniform Lame's constants

Submitted by habibbaluwala on

Hi Everyone,

                 I have to confess here that I do not have a mechanics background but I am currently working on a problem where i have to solve the Navier equation with non-uniform Lame constants of an object. If anyonme could guide me towards the necessary literature or  any other resource it would be very helpful. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Query on transformation representing deformation fo space , change of basis and orthogonal nature

Submitted by nk on

Hello All
I am trying to read the text book Tensor analysis by IS Sokolnikoff and stuck in
chaper 1, there is some confusion in my mind regarding orthogonal transformations,
change of basis and and a transformation representing deformation of space.
Please bear with me if my confusions are unfounded.
1) Is is safe to say that transformation representing deformation of space acts on
vectors where as transformations representing the change of basis acts on
components?. (if yes then the following questions are resolved and need not be
looked)
2) Sokolnikoff builds up the reasoning for orthogonal transformations based on
deformation of space (i.e orthogonal transofrmations keep the length of vector

How to obtain the exact true stress true strain curve from tensile test

Submitted by unsrohith on

Hi,

     The data obtained from tensile test is not reliable after the point of maximum load as neck initiates and triaxial state of stress develops.There is lot of literature in this regard, Can anyone suggest a good method to obtain the exact load disp curve after necking.
