Large Deformation - Definition of total work energy density

Submitted by rajan_prithivi on
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

Like we have the elastic strain energy density for small deformations  defined as 0.5* σ :e  .

Is the equation PK2:E valid for the total work energy density for elastoplastic regimes ? If not, what would be a valid equation for total energy density ?

How can we decompose total work density into elastic work and plastic work densities for a large deformation case.

Where,

PK2 is the second piola kirchoff stress tensor

E is the Green-Lagrange strain tensor

 

Thanks,

Prithivi

Hello everybody,

 UPDATE :   Question can be deemed as closed.. :)

                       I have a very simple doubt in 3D model simplification. I believe plane stress and plane strain conditions are the two extreme states to simplify a 3D model to 2D case.

Transfroming applied tractions into statically equivalent nodal force BC

Hello,

I am trying to produce results for problems with analytical solution to validate my FE code. One of the problmes is the classical plate with a hole configuration with tractions applied at boundaries. However, presently, I can only impose BC in terms of nodal forces and displacements. Therefore I must transform the applied stress in statically equivalent nodal forces.

Pressure Difference Calculation in ABAQUS

Submitted by MDaftab on

Hi everyone, 

I am working on ABAQUS to simulate Pipeline Inspection Gauge (PIG) movement in a pipeline via CEL technique. I am unable to find how to calculate Pressure Difference in the pipeline using Abaqus.

If anyone of you can guide me through it.

Regards,

MD Aftab

Simplified slip-bearing action by using stop ellement in Abaqus

Submitted by Mona20016 on

Hi
can anyone please advise me to define connector ellements with following details:
Using rigid plastic CARTESIAN element and a STOP element in parallel and The connector behaviour must be:
1- rigid up to the slip force limit Rn
2- slip at the bolts up to ±1 mm at constant force Rn
3- rigid bearing hardening
