Compression test in ABAQUS with friction effect??

Submitted by Zuhaib Nazir on

Dear Researchers 

I am trying to simulate hot compression test in ABAQUS with friction effect. In friction properties when coefficient of friction is changing from 0.1 to 1, there is no effect of curves for force vs. displacement. I have attached the graphs and result pictures file with this blog. What I understood as the friction plane is perpendicular to applied force thats why there will be no effect of friction coefficient value on force vs displacement graph.

PhD opening in computational mechanics at EPFL

Submitted by BriceLecampion on

I have a PhD opening in my group to start in 2017 on the multiscale modeling of fluid driven fracture propagation.

Interested individuals should contact me, and submit in parallel an application to EPFL doctoral school in mechanics

(see http://phd.epfl.ch/edme for more details about the mechanics PhD program at EPFL and the application process).

 

A brief description of the topic can be found in attached file.

Hourglassing and Shear locking

Submitted by arsha_0o on

Hello,

My question is about using second order elements in a 3D problem. Imagine that we are appling bending moment on a beam. If we only use 1element in the thickness, I dont understand why:

1) in reduced integration element (C3D20R) we still have hourglassing

2) in full integration element (C3D20) we still have shear locking.

 

Thanks
