Question about calling subroutine to get strain and stress

Submitted by zengziw on

I am writing a subroutine DFLUX, the FLUX(1) is dependent on strain and stress. But I don't know how to get the strain and stress. I use SPRINC in the code but it seems to be wrong.

The equation for the problem is 

q=(α^2XΩXε^2XE)/2
E=(σ/ε)*sin(d)
σ is stress and ε is strain

finite element analysis

Dear ALL,

Does anyone here has an experience carry out  FE analysis for a part[bracket] which was deformed plastically during cyclic loading test.

I'm now working to resolve this issue when a bracket was fail to withstand the constant loading of 500N during cyclic test. It was reported fail at ~3800 cycles which was less than target.
