Would you like to recommend some ebooks on computational nonlinearity?

Submitted by Jing_Yang on

Hi, everyone:

    I'm recently very interested in computational nolinearity. Would you like recommend some monographs on the computation nonlinearity so that i can have a better understanding of the mechanism of ABAQUS.

    Thanks

  

Should a continuum be an open subset?

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

I recent read the book of Prof. J. Tinsley Oden "A short course on nonlinear continuum mechanics"

http://users.ices.utexas.edu/~arbogast/cam397/oden0908.pdf

which declares that reference configuration is an open, bounded, connected subset of R3 with a smooth boundary (in Page 1).

It is strange to me beacause that means we cannot consider the boundary of the deformable bodies in its following discussion.

does anybody have  the abaqus seminar pdf ''modelling heat transfer and thermal-stress analysis with abaqus'' ???

 perhaps an older version...i d like learn it, hope u guys can help me, thank u very much.

if u have the pdf file, please give a freelink with dropbox or sth alke, or send me direct to zsc13810288137 [at] hotmail.com

failure analysis of composite material

Submitted by stkrajan on

hi i am new to abaqus software.  i am doing research on failure analysis of composite material.  i want to model the workpiece and machine by a tool.  any one can please help me if you have any tutorial to model this explicit analysis.  i want to analyse the chip also.

please send the help link to stkrajan [at] gmail.com (stkrajan[at]gmail[dot]com)

thankyou

1st, 2nd & 3rd principal strain vs. minimum and maximum principal strains

Hi All,

Non-maths person here struggling with the relationship between 1st, 2nd and 3rd principal strains generated by FEA software and minimum and maximum prinicipal strains often cited in the literature.

As i understand it the 1st principal strain is the most positive strain, 2nd and then 3rd most positive strains. For instance:

Case 1-

1st principal strain = +1000

2nd principal strain = +100

3rd principal strain = +50

Case 2-

1st principal strain = +500

2nd principal strain = -50

Fractal surface mesh generation

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

Saber El Arem (node/14053 ) wanted to know how a fractal surface mesh could be created.

I've had to do that in the past.  What I did was to use Arjun Viswanathan's 1999 Matlab snippet on creating a plasma fractal and write a wrapper around it to create an output file that could be read by the then available version of Abaqus.

I've attached a couple of Matlab files that should be able to do the job.   The .txt extensions are needed because iMechanica does not accept files with .m extensions.

Irfan: Abaqus

Submitted by memimp on

I am doing spur gear contact simulation on abaqus when I do this driver gear rotate but driven gear not rotate as I observed in results.

So is there mistake in interaction module or constraint or boundary conditions?

I also followed instructions which were given to member " zeke2282".

Hello to all,



                 I m mahendra and i want few suggesions for my final year project Regarding Non-Linear buckling of composite Wind Turbine. I have done Linear Buckling and got a BLF=1.3 which is fine as per GL Guidlines. I m using Ansys12 Edu ver. and Shell 281 Element type with section properties. For load application i m using pilot node at 9 airfoils on the full blade.



Then i have applies Mx and My on that load application points.
