Best way to do a constraint between a pipe and end plate and an eccentric load reference point ?

Submitted by Diana on

Hi all,

I'm modelling a pipe in ABAQUS subjected to internal pressure as step one then an eccentric tension load is applied as step two. I'm trying to find the best method in connecting the end plate with the pipe and the reference point of loading with the end plate. using kinematic coupling gives different stress distribution on the pipe than using tie constraint. Any idea ?

New prestigious postdoctoral fellowships are provided by a generous gift from Susan and David Hibbitt. Since the fellows will be selected through internal competition with those of other disciplines, solid mechanics applicants should be well qualified for the competition.
 

Looking for a doctoral position in the field of (solid) computational mechanics

Submitted by Nguyen Van Chau on

Hello, My name is Nguyen Van Chau, an engineer at Mitsubishi Motor Company, Japan. I have been working on some projects which relate in structure analysis, fluid analysis for automobile since 2009/01. I am seeking for a doctoral position starting after 2015/01-.

My expertise in computational solid mechanics includes:  

(1) Structure Analysis (HyperWork, Nastran, Femap).

Nonlinear Analysis Fire and Explosion using LS-Dyna or ANSYS

I have one model offshore that were designed based on BENTLEY SACS and by that I wanted to convert it on LS-Dyna or SACS to CFD to observe  blast and fire effects & loading and then for non linear analysis of structural.

VUHARD for material subroutine and abaqus 6.13.1 requirements

Submitted by aayusha on

Hi all,

I am new at subroutine and abaqus requirements and its compatibility. I am trying to use a subroutine VUHARD for the material modeling of polycrystalline material under shock loading. I am not sure if I can use VUHARD because of my lack of experience in subroutines. I have couple of questions listed below and I would really appreciate if anyone can give me a insight in this subject.

1) Can I use visco-plastic formulation (rate- dependent) in VUHARD?

Fluid Modeling by Lagrangian elements

Submitted by ho1mo on

Hi

I want to extract frequencies from a fluid/structure model by ABAQUS, but fluid elements just available in Explicit library, and frequency procedure just put on Abaqus Standard, So I decide to use lagrangian element instead of eulerian for fluid. But I don't know how I can do it,

Has EveryBody a solution to extracting frequencies of fluids instead of what I mentioned?

 

Thanks in advanced
