Viscoelasticity in Abaqus

Submitted by Andreas Burger on

Hi All,

 I would like to use Abaqus to model the viscoelastic material  behaviour of a polymer.



I have material data from a simple uniaxial creep experiment (nominal strain vs time).  I tried to use the viscoelastic material model in Abaqus.  I am a bit confused as to how I need to enter my data (what format). 

The manual says I have to specify the normalized bulk and normalized shear compliance . 

  


where is the shear compliance and the volumetric compliance

 

The first UMAT in the verification Manual

Submitted by nitinchandola on

hi,

I was trying to run the first UMAT example in the Abaqus verification manual  ( umatmst.f is the file name). I imported the input file umatmst.inp and then ran umatmst.for

However it showed me an error saying ifort.exe missing. I have installed Intel Fortran compiler. However now it shows the following error.

fortcom: error: Illegal Character in statement label feild [s]

fortcom: error:First statement in file must not be continued

Puzzle: What caused this failure?

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

Here's a puzzle for our readers.  The following image is of the surface of a failed joint followed by a picture of the joint (not the same one but a similar one) before joining.  What material is it? What caused the failure?  All manner of speculation is welcome.

How to add a residual stress field as initial condition for ABAQUS

Submitted by Hiton Zhang on

I am trying to construct the existing residual stress and strain field, which has been obtained in the previous themal-elastic-plastic analysis in a structure into Abaqus V.6.5 so that the influence of post heat treatment and restrain conditions on the distortion can be analyzed. I tried to use INITIAL CONDITIONS: TYPE=TEMPERATURE, FILE=filename...to add the temperature field, but I don't know how I can add the residual stress field as the initial coniditon. Does anyone know how to do this ?!!.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best regards
