How to model 1/4 part of 3D cubic void cell (RVE) in abaqus which is subjected to combined tension and shear ?

Submitted by vilstk234 on

I want to model 1/4 part of cubic void cell which is subjected to combined tension and shear, Since its a part of RVE hence I need to apply periodic boundary conditions. I am trying to model the same model which is taken by Prof  Cihan Tekoglu in his paper "Representative volume element calculations under constant stress triaxiality, Lode parameter, and shear ratio" under same boundary conditions. I had applied all the boundary conditions mentioned in his paper in Appendix B, but still I get wierd deformed shape after simulation.
