Hi,
I am working a long time on using cohesive elements in ABAQUS but up to now my efforts have be unsucessful.
I want to use of cohesive elements with the following paramters:
Damage initiation: Normal stres= 1.9 MPa, shear stress= 6.2 MPa
Damage evolution: Mode I fracture energy= 0.5307, Mode II farcture energy= 0.6623
Could any body kindly let me know that what would be my model E/Knn, E/Kss parameters?
Thank you,
Parisa
hi every body..
im trying to model interface delamination in ansys. i use inter204 or 205 for interface element.the problem is that as the stress in interface riches the yield value, the solution doesnt converge.
i tried to increase the number of substeps or decrease the size of element, but the problem still exists.
Hello I am a student of the University of Manchester. I am modelling a SHPB assembly together with the specimen, and I am having trouble with placing the loads,creating the boundary constrain between the incident, transmitter bar and the specimen. I created the interaction between the assembly with a suppressed TIE, and after loading and submitting the job I kept on getting errors. The load did not transmit to up to a quarter of the incident bar.
Hi,
I want to model an Aluminum substrate with coating on it. Is there someone who knows how can I define the attachment of intersection in ABAQUS?
Thank you in advance.
Dear all
I am looking for some papers about hygrothermal effect in composite plates.
some of these are here:
How can we derive dynamic beam equation from navier equation in elastodynamic? I tried with the displacement vector field:
u=-z*w(x,t)
v=0
w=w(x.t)
and put it in navier equation, but it does not work.
hi all,
i want to perform dynamic analysis of a tank filled with fluid. I was trying to model this in ANSYS with FLUID80 element for fluid and shell element for the shell. But due to complexity, i was forced to used degenerated solid element, which FLUID80 does not allow.
please tell me any other way to model it.
Dear iMechanica commmunity,
we are looking for 3 PhD students at Oxford, starting from the 1st of October 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter. The closing date for the application is the 26th of July. The 3 students are required for two different research projects, namely:
1) Underwater blast on composite structures - open only to EU nationals; 2 PhD students are required. The studentships are advertised here
