Crystal Plasticity User Material for Abaqus incorporating twinning

Submitted by Hidroxid on

Hello,

The most famous user material (UMAT) for Abaqus is the UMAT from prof. Hunag. But the twinning is not implemented in it.

Does anyone know if theere is any other UMATs which the twinning effect (plastic deformation due to twinning) is implemented?

 

Kind regards,

Omid

Faculty position in energy transfer at the University of Virginia (UVA)

Submitted by Baoxing Xu on

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE), School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) at the University of Virginia (UVA) is seeking candidates (all ranks) in energy transfer. The focus is on computational and theoretical investigation of heat and mass transfer, which can range from the nanoscale to the microscale and to the mesoscale. A scholar will bring expertise to already existing Thermal Management strengths in SEAS and UVA, and will investigate fundamental thermophysics related to innovative solutions in societal challenges and national needs.

A novel self-locked energy absorbing system

Submitted by Yuli Chen on

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2015.11.008  Metallic thin-walled round tubes are widely used as energy absorption elements.  However, lateral splash of the round tubes under impact loadings reduces the energy absorption efficiency and may cause secondary damages.  Therefore, it is necessary to assemble and fasten round tubes together by boundary constraints and/or fasteners between tubes, which increases the time and labor cost and affects the mechanical performance of round tubes.  In an
