Hello everyone,
I am working on crack simualtion by creating zero thickness cohesive elements by editing the nodal co-ordinate in ABAQUS. I am able to simualte it on some of the components using hexa mesh , but for complex components it should be meshed with tetra mesh so, my question is , is it possible to create zero thickness elements using tetra mesh in ABAQUS? If it is then please guide me through this problem.
Thank You.
Following an earlier post on dynamic necking of tensile bars, we show in the attached paper (to appear in JMPS) that the presence of deep notches in the specimen does not necessarily dictate the location of the neck. Various material parameters are identified and modeled numerically, to assess their respective influence. Strain-rate sensitivity is identified as an important factor.
It is commonly admitted that "rough" surfaces promote osseo-integration of dental implants. Numerous studies emphasize an optimal Ra parameter for this purpose. One very common way to achieve that state is the so-called "grit blasting" process whereby tiny ceramic (alumina) particles are shot on the implant's surface.
Up to here for the basic story.
It has also been noted in other instances that surface blasting may not be entirely beneficial and it should be controlled, in terms of blasting pressure, particle size and shape.
Contrary to the common naive feeling of clinical dentists, it so happens that dental implants can also fracture. This is a very unpleasant event which necessitates a surgical extraction procedure. So far, the most part of reserach on dental implants has been emphasizing biological failures and biocompatibility related issues. Mechanical aspects of implant design have been touched upon and a lot of work has been done on the surface condition of the implants to allow optimal osseo-integration. Those are all central clinical issues.
<p>Hi all</p>
<p>im modeling an laminated rubber isolator in abaqus and i have used mooney rivlin model.My model consists of three layers of rubber and steel plates in between. I dont know how to view the results for seperate parts of rubber and also how to adjust the contour plot valuees. kindly help me with it. thanks in advance.<a href="http://imechanica.org/comment/26854#comment-26854"><br /></a></p>
The additive manufacturing technology, among its many advantages, allows us to manufacture solids with controlled enclosed porosity. To the best of my knowledge, this was not doable with conventional machining technologies, but now this is done. In the attached document, the interested reader will find experimental results (both static and dynamic) describing the influence of the porosity on the specimen's performance. We show that while the volume fraction is indeed an important parameter, aas expected, the spatial arrangement of the voids is also of prime importance.
Hi,
I need to run a UEL in Fortran90 with ABAQUS 6.13, however, I keep getting error.
I can run subroutines in FORTRAN77, but it's not the case for Fortran90.
My machine is Windows7/64 and I have Intle Composer XE 2011 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
Any help on that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hanif
I would like to bring to your attention the mini-symposium entitled "Mechanical Properties of Randomly Cross-Linked Semiflexible Fibrous Materials”, http://13.usnccm.org/MS1011
