Does anybody have some experience in the VFRICTION subroutine in Abaqus?

Submitted by Hankang Yang on

Dear all,

I am starting to use VFRICTION subroutine in ABAQUS. But the manual examples are very simple.

To start, I would like to implement the friction law that already exist in ABAQUS(penalty e.g.) to see how this subroutine works.

I do come across the ABAQUS Technical notes about subroutine FRIC in standard which explained the implementation in detail. I wonder if someone happen to know whether similar technical notes exist for VFRICTION in explicit or have experience working on VFRICTION before?

Any help will be very appreciated.

Regarding a post doctoral position

Submitted by anishiitk on

Hi, I am looking for the post-doctoral position in structural dynamics ( instability of the thin structures, shell theory,  composite structures, static and dynamic buckling of the shells). I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Nonlinear Mechanics Laboratory at Indian Institute of Tehnology Kanpur (India) where Dr. Pankaj Wahi and Dr. Sovan Lal Das have adviced my research for the past four years. My PhD thesis deal with the shell theory and dynamic behavior of the shell ( especially thin-walled circular cylindrical shells).
