Harmonic analysis with a crack?

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hello everybody,

                          I am trying to perform a harmonic analysis of a material sample (say a simple 2D plate) with an edge crack in it using 'Ansys R16'. I see that under sinusoidal loading condition, the two crack faces open or close and interpenetrate (after closing which is not possible practically).

          1.  I believe, stiffnesses of the crack faces change during interpenetration and so the results are not credible anymore.

I am new to abaqus and currently working in Abaqus 2016

I am getting the error 5 unconnected regions in abaqus. I have checked thoroughly all the interefaces and boundary conditions but I am not able to sort out this problem. Also I am getting Displacment increment is too big for contact. The job is getting aborted eventually.

I have attached images of the model.

Design of Storage Tank( including Cone roof structure analysis)

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Namaste from India.Jay Naik here. I am Post graduation Student doing Specialization in Machine Design.I am Doing My project in Master in area of" Design of storage tank" in One of the reputed company in Static Equipment Design.Any Idea on which Software(Fea or failure analysis) Design of storage tank is carried out?I have heard about AMETank and Ansys.

Secondly i am carrying out Literature review Present days.reading API 650 and other standards.Suggestion requires in this area.

Please guide me in proper manner.in which way i should carry out the project in systematic way.

Underwater Soil Mechanics Problem

I am an undergraduate student conducting a research project involving the design of a tool to aid astronauts to perform experiments on lunar surfaces and would like to request some direction about which analytical tools would be best suited for this application (i.e. FEA or DEM software/techniques). The specific scenario of interest is to design a tool that can act as an anchor in a sand-like medium (regolith) on the surface of the moon.

defining a time dependent elastic modulus

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi,

I'm working on a model with Abaqus and I face a problem. One of my materials has an elastic modulus which isn't constant according to time. As I search I found out that this should be done by USDFLD subroutine. I'm not familiar with subroutins and how to write them and all the resourses that I've found just confused me more. I would be grateful if someone helps me.....

Newton Raphson for FEM

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi,

I am currently working on a FEM  2d plane strain elastic model in matlab. The next step would be to use a non linear constiutive law (Mohr-Coulomb). As far as I have been reading non linearities, are solved with iteration schemes. My question is how to compute the tangent matrix with the N.Raphson method? I have seen only case for polynomials, but not for matrices.

Regards!

Anna

Large Deformation - Definition of total work energy density

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

Plane_Stress, Plane_Strain and 3D - Simple doubt..

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

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

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

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.
