von-mises stresses in solid model with and without pores

Submitted by engr.imran2k5 on

Hello Everyone,

My name is Muhammad Imran and I am a PhD student in TU, Dortmund. I am performing tensile test simulation in Abaqus for aluminium silicon alloy. I am calculating stresses for three different models, one model is solid (zero porosity) and second model has a cavity inside and third model has some pores inside.

ill condition tangent stiffness matrix

Submitted by mjalilych1 on

hello Dear friends

I study large displacement analysis of euler-bernoulli beam. the beam is under pure bending moment.

wtangent stiffness matrix is dependent to tanget of rotation. so when rotation of nodes approches 90 this matrix become ill condition. I use of matlab for coding. I was wondering if some one give me a solution.

best wishes.

5 years post-doctoral fellowship available, University of Southampton

Submitted by Fabrice Pierron on

I am looking for a post-doctoral research fellow with a high academic profile to join me on the PhotDyn project. The topic concerns the development of novel high strain rate testing procedures based on ultra-high speed deformation imaging and inverse identification. I am mainly looking for someone with expertise in constitutive modelling of materials. The detailed job description can be consulted here.

Research Assistant in Material Modelling ( 2 years)

Project goal: Develop physics-based numerical tools capable of characterising material behaviours in nickel and titanium alloys, linking micro and macro length scales. The models developed will be relevant for a broad temperature range, high deformations (up to failure) and high strain rates.

WindowsSdkDir not found

Submitted by atefe.geramian on

Dear all,

I was using Intel Visual Fortan Compliler 11.1 with Visual Studio 2008 pro and Abaqus 6.12 to write and use subroutines in Abaqus. I had linked it properly and it was working fine before. However, today when I tried to use it, the Intel Visual Fortran compiler command window comes with an additional message that "WindowsSdkDir not found", and my subroutines are not working anymore. and when I run it, I get following erorr

stress at a point other than integration points in VUMAT/UMAT

Submitted by liebealt on

Hi all,

The question is how can the stress at a point other than integration points be evaluated in VUMAT/UMAT. Interpolation may be a general method. However, to me, it seems not so easy to be implemented, for I have no idea of the way to retrieve the necessary information of all integration points (their indexes, positions etc.) belongint to a identical FE. Any help would be appreciated.
