Job description

buckling load in Abaqus

Submitted by far_jod on

Dear friends

There are two ways in Abaqus to achieve the buckling load in a model:

1-Linear perturbation-Buckle which is resulted the elastic buckling load of the system

2-static-Ricks which is resulted the inelastic buckling load if the plastic material properties are supported  in data entry

The analysis with two mentioned methods shows different first shape modes.

please let me find your idea about the correct buckling shape?

Discussion of fracture paper #11 - Fracture processes and phase-field modelling

Submitted by ESIS on

In the latest volume of Engineering Fracture Mechanics there is an interesting paper about the calculation of crack growth paths by use of a phase field model. The considered material is inhomogeneous and that causes the crack to follow a winding path through the material. The material structure is from a CT scanned micro-structure of a cement-based porous material. The paper is:
