2 Questions about VUHARD and VUMAT

I am trying to implement an analytic formulae of dynamic flow stress in material plasticity in abaqus. The model is similar to FlowStress=K*(PlasticStrain^n)*(StrainRate^m). 

Could you provide help for these 2 questions?

1: Is it OK to define Young's modulus (E) and v in "Elastic" and choose "User" in "Plastic-->Hardening" with the subroutine "VUHARD", instead of by "VUMAT" with plasticity criterion and calculation of delta stress and strain?

Gibbs free energy and constitutive equations

I don't know if my understanding of the following is correct, so I would appreciate your comments. I have an expression for Gibbs free energy of a material G=G(σ,T,...). Is it correct to derive the equation for strain as ε=∂G/∂σ ?

cracked rotor

sir

can i find natural frequencies of cracked rotating shaft in ansys.i am using contact elements to model crack due to which nonlinearity comes into picture.since modal and harmonic analysis cannot solve nonlinear problems,so please tell me in detail the steps to find natural frequency .

my project submission date is on 15th june and i have no results.pls reply as soon as possible

it will be yr great help.

thanks in advance

Composite plate analysis using ansys. coding using matlab

hi friends,

 

 I  have coded for laminate  using matlab. for further analysis i want  code for composite plate simply supported at all 4 edges. 

 then analyse with ANSYS. and use optimization techniques for optimizing the plate.

material : Graphite /eposy

thickness of each lamina : 0.127

Seq [45 0 -45]

 

Please anybody know how to code for composite plate and do stress analysis using Ansys.

feel free to share ur thoughts

Slides on Pressure and Chemical Potential

Here are some slides I made on the subject of "Pressure and Chemical Potential" for the final meeting of Prof. Zhigang Suo's ES 241 class in the Spring of 2009.

A course on Advanced Elasticity, with emphasis on thermodynamics and soft active materials

In the field of Solid Mechanics, Harvard has a sequence of 5 graduate courses:

The first course goes over linear elasticity, finite element method, vibration, waves, viscoelasticity, as well as some ideas of finite deformation.

Fracture Toughness Anisotropy in Silicon Carbide

Here is a paper that I wrote my freshman year of college.  It discusses some observations about fracture toughness in a form of silicon carbide that had potential use in nuclear fission and fusion reactors.  It was published in the Department of Energy's Journal of Undergraduate Research.

ABAQUS/Standard - 2D beam elements vs 3D shell elements

Dear collegues,

I am modeling deformation of a simple triangular shape, /\, which is constrained at one end and the other end is free to move on the x direction. There is a displacement loading on the top corner and the output is the reaction force on the y direction at the free end.

 I used Abaqus/ Standard and modeled this problem in 2D beam elements and 3D shell elements. The material is aluminum with plasticity and nonlinear geometry is on.

hyperelastic model

I am wondering a problem slove by ogden hyperelastic model.

Fracture Mechanics vs. Damage Mechanics

I was wondering what are the advantages of damage mechanics and fracture mechanics over each other? Specially in order to model the delamination phenomenon.

MECHANICAL ENGG&abaqus contact analysis

dear all,

            this is arasu, i am using abaqus to find out wear using contact analysis.my model rotating disc over the pin(pin on disc ) in real time.so i want    t o simulate rotating disc  at some anular velocity.if any body have some solved problem about ratating geomentry please send me.

thank you

regards

Arasu

Reading elsets from UMAT in ABAQUS

Dear all,

I intend to read the element sets which I have in my Abaqus input file from the user material code (UMAT) and check to which elset the current element, which is characterized by "NOEL" in the UMAT, belongs.

Best,

Hadi

Failure Surface Graphics in Stress Space

 A new section has been added to the website on failure criteria for engineering materials.  This new work displays many different three-dimensional computer graphics of failure criteria surfaces in stress space. The full range of isotropic materials are covered from ductile metals to brittle ceramics and glasses and beyond.  All of these computer generated graphics can be seen at www.failurecriteria.com/failuresurfacegr.html.

Solid mechanician and Caltech Faculty Member Named to American Academy of Arts and Sciences: Caltech professor Ares Rosakis, is among the 210 new fellows elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences this year. They join an assembly that was founded in 1780 by John Adams, James Bowdoin, John Hancock, and other scholars to provide practical solutions to pressing issues.

Error Code 144

Hello all, new to the forum, so I would like to say thank you in advance for any help I may receive.

 I have been using CPS8R elements to model a plane stress problem, in conjunction with a UMAT I have developed. This has been running correctly, and the results obtained are good.

I am now running an analysis using axisymmetric elements, CAX8R.

The output from CAX8R is..... S11, S22, S33, S12. The ouput from CPS8R is....S11, S22, S12.

I have therefore updated the damage model accordingly to account for this.

ANSYS FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

While analysing through ANSYS  We  have to give the strees strain curve for fibre reinforced concrete. How stress strain curve for fibre reinforced concrete is given while analysis.I have tested compression stress on cylinder   and have stress strain curve for compressive test on cylinder
