Why Abaqus give incorrect result in plane strain plasticity?!!

Submitted by aminzami on

There is an incorrect result from Abaqus in plane strain plasticity simulation. In this short video, this  result is shown.

It would be pleased if anybody have any idea about why this happen ?!!

A DOCTORAL STUDENT POSITION IN FRACTURE OF SEA ICE

Submitted by Jukka Tuhkuri on

Aalto University School of Engineering in Finland has an open position for a doctoral student in the Arctic Marine and Ice Technology research group at the Department of Applied Mechanics. Our research group studies the behavior of ships and structures in ice, ice mechanics and also assesses the impact of sea ice on the safety of maritime transportation. An important part of our research is experimental work. For that we have excellent possibilities as we operate the Aalto Ice Tank, a 40 m × 40 m ice model basin.

JAM now publishes a new type of paper: A Perspective

Submitted by Yonggang Huang on

JAM now publishes a new type of paper -- A Perspective.  As invited by the Editor of JAM, the authors write a short (2~3 published pages) perspective paper on an emerging field, or an important new discovery, in mechanics.  The inaugural perspective paper, "Toughening Graphene With Topological Defects: A Perspective" by Dr. Teng Zhang and Prof. Huajian Gao from Brown University, was published in the May issue, 2015.  The PDF of the paper is attached. 

Postdoc Position in Computational Modeling of Growth and Remodeling Mechanisms

Submitted by grytz on

A postdoctoral fellowship position is available at the laboratory of Rafael Grytz, PhD, at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, for 2 years, starting immediately. The candidate will be instrumental in developing computational methods to quantify and simulate growth and remodeling mechanisms in ocular conditions and diseases.

Call for Abstract : Fifth International Indentation Workshop, Nov.1-5, 2015, Richardson, USA.

Submitted by Tingge Xu on

Dear Colleagues,

Indentation, in particular, instrumented nanoindentation has become an elegant and effective technique for probing materials behavior at nanoscales and up.

We are now organizing the Fifth International Indentation Workshop (IIW5), which will take place at the University of Texas at Dallas, USA on November 1-5, 2015.

Tensile Strenght vs Tensile Stress (of welded specimen)

Submitted by arnkarthik on

Helo everyone,

I did the UTM Tensile testing for my standard specimen and got the stress strain table.

As a result i got the Tensile Strength (in Mpa). 

In abaqus i modeled the standard specimen and created the weld like model.

The plastic material properties (material properties of my Electrode E7018) is given to the weld geometry and

UTM results for the standard specimen, and got the same result for the UTM tested with welded specimen.

the rotational degree of freedom of the reference nodes is not restrained.

i am trying to simulate sheet metal bending.

die and punch were given as analytically ridid body.

the following error occured ,

kindly clarify me regarding this.
