composite modeling

Submitted by wail s. on

i'm try to do this model by abaqus and i faced some problems.any help is appreciated.

it is a 3 layers plates,a viscoelastic material sandwich between 2 steels.any kind of help,e.i,papers,thesis or notes etc are

welcome.

i modeled the 2 steel as sheel 'S8R"and the rubber as contiuum  "c3d20r",rubber is not thin.

 

 

Sharing ABAQUS UMAT and VUMAT subroutines

Submitted by azadpoor on

I have noticed that a lot of people are using UMAT and VUMAT material model
subroutines for their researches. However, most of these subroutines do not
find their way to free code market and remain in the hands of the developers.
Therefore, a lot of wheel re-inventing has to be done by other people. Since
development and testing of a material subroutine takes a damn long time, I
think it is a good idea if each of us can share the subroutines she has
developed with the others. I know that a couple of subroutines are publicly

graduation project request

Submitted by sadook on

Good morning,

My name is Sadok BLANCO; I am an engineering student at the Tunisia Polytechnic School.
I’m writing for you to ask my acceptation to carry out a graduation project and I am looking for one from you that can propose to me to work with him.

I am an engineering student at the Tunisia Polytechnic School (TPS) which provides a multidisciplinary training for its students. Its main purpose is to enable them to assume both technical and administrative responsibilities.

As a future engineer from TPS, I will be able to design, analyze and manage some complex systems thanks to versatile study program including theoretical and applied training in mathematics, physics, economics and languages.
