Can anyone tell me how I can obtain the burst pressure from abaqus output/results please.

I carried out simulations to predict the burst pressure of pipes using Abaqus. I applied internal pressure and the pipe actually busted as shown in the attachment. I requested for pressure to be outputted for nodes and elements sets under “force” in the field output request. When I viewed the result, pressure was not outputted for both the node and the element set.

Short Course: Engineering of Durable Elastomeric Structures, 26-27 July 2011, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Elastomers are outstanding in their ability to repeatedly endure large deformations, and they are often applied where fatigue performance is a critical consideration. Because the macromolecular structure of elastomers gives rise to a number of unique behaviors, appropriately specialized methods are needed to characterize, analyze, and design for durability. This 2-day course provides the know-how for engineering durable elastomeric components and systems. The course is taught at Axel Products, and includes live demos of typical behavior.

Hi 
I am a PhD. Student at Aalborg University at Department for Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering in Denmark. In short my PhD project treats modeling delamination damage in laminated fibrous composite structures under quasi-static and cyclic loading. I am having a hard time finding good relevant PhD-courses so now I am turning to you to ask you if you can recommend any good courses falling under the following criteria:
  • Damage analysis of composite structures
  • Nonlinear FEM
  • Cohesive zone modeling
