Notes on Implicit Update for Bergstrom-Boyce Network B

Submitted by Amit Acharya on

This post is in response to the imechanica request

node/5034

 (a separate post, as I have to attach notes - it would be really nice to be able to attach documents to imechanica comments)

 Attached are hand-written notes I have used to implement the Network B for the Bergstrom-Boyce model. They were written for my use only, so if it seems stream-of-consciousness at times, don't blame me. The details should all be there, though.

This is my first 2009 article

Submitted by Pi-Gang Luan on

Now I come here again.

From now on I want to share with you my research experiences and personal opinion on  time dependent quantum system, photonic/sonic crystals, and metamaterials.  I would also like to write some articles on science teaching stuff.

I come from Taiwan. Usually I speak chinese, and have no many oppernituties to practice my English, so I wish someone can help me to improve my English. Thanks !

  

 

Numerical Evaluation of Crack Tip Opening Displacement (CTOD)

Submitted by SIVAKUMAR M V N on

Hai All,

I want to know how to evaluate CTOD form the finite element nodal
values(displacements) that are obtained from the commercial software
ABAQUS.

I am using Elastic-Plastic model for the analysis. Can anybody help me in this regard.

thanking you in advance,

Bending and 2D Elasticity: Going Back in Time

Submitted by Ajit R. Jadhav on

The following is a (relatively minor) question which had occurred to me more than two decades ago. By now I have forgotten precisely when it was... It could have been when I was in my TE (third year engineering) at COEP. ... Or, perhaps, it was later on, when I as at IIT Madras (studying stress analysis on my own). ... I don't remember precisely when it occurred to me, only *how* it did---it was when I was poring over the first part of Dieter's book.



matlab code for 3D element

Submitted by mahsai on

i have problem in writing matlab code for 3D element to find electric potential at each node

i have the tool surface and workpiece surface and i have to find electric potential in the gap b/w tool and workpiece,for that i assume it as a solid and i took the laplaces equation to find potential i.e  

(∂φ/∂x)2 + (∂φ/∂y)2+ (∂φ/∂z)2=0

Bergstroem Boyce Model - inelastic part

Submitted by Andreas Burger on

Hi, 

 I was wondering if anyone has experience in implementing the Bergstroem-Boyce Model (Constitutive modeling of the time-dependent and cyclic loading of elastimers and application to soft biological tissue, 2001)? I am struggling with the implementation of the viscoplastic part (Network B) of the model:

Help with parametric modelling

Submitted by JayZ900807 on

I want to perform a parametric study, where the geometry of

an object is varied. However, the only catch is that I need to be able to do

this by parametrizing the input file. I have given an example below to more

clearly explain, what I am trying to say. 

Let’s just say i have a cube, and i want to define the

distance between two opposite faces by a parameter called 'length', with a value

of 20mm. I know that this would be written in the input file as: 

*PARAMETER

length = 20.

METAL CUTTING SIMULATION USING DEFORM 2D

Submitted by vijaysekar on

Dear All,

I am working on the simulation of the metal cutting process using DEFORM 2D.I need some

guidance on the software usage.How do we vary the feed rate / cutting speed for different

operations.Can you help.I am pursuing my PhD currently.Do you have a working manual of DEFORM 2D for metal cutting.

Wishes ,
