ABAQUS subroutine for compressible neo-Hookean material

Submitted by Deegayu on

Hi everyone, 

 

I am new to ABAQUS software and recently i was trying to implement compressible neo-Hookean material in ABAQUS and for me it is a very difficult task. There are already codes available for the nearly incompressible neo-Hookean material. Since ABAQUS is a widely used software,  i was wondering whether there are any database avaible consisting different codes that we can access. I am desperately looking for a subroutine for compressible neo-Hookean material. Can someone please help me or give me some direction. Thanks a lot !

Export Mass Matrices in Abaqus

Submitted by augustus on

Hello,

 

I have to export stiffness and mass matrices from Abaqus (dynamical simulation)

and I have been using the commands *Matrix Generate and *Matrix Output

 

I need to export the matrices for different  time points (time intervals) and I have noticed that the entries

of the MASS matrices are not equal at different  time points.

 

Is that correct or should the MASS matrices be constant for a dynamical simulation?

 

many thanks

Micromechanics of collective buckling in CNT turfs

Submitted by Hamid Torabi on

Complex structures consisting of intertwined, nominally vertical carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are called turfs. Under uniform compression experiments, CNT turfs exhibit irreversible collective buckling of a layer preceded by reorientation of CNT segments. Experimentally observed independence of the buckling stress and the buckling wavelength on the turf width suggests the existence of an intrinsic material length.

anisotropically in "GEOSTATIC" step (with distortion error)

Submitted by atefe.geramian on

Hello,

I simulated an isotropically triaxial test with 550000 (Pa) pressure on top and side of model in "geostatic" step. I defined vertical predefined field stress 550000 and lateral coefficient 1 too. I didnt have probloms in that model and the results were right.
