so plz help me

Crack propagation in ABAQUS

Submitted by mmmadni85 on

Hi

I am trying to find out the propagation in a bone using FEA in ABAQUS , The bone is given material properties of Polyurethane foam since I have the bone models made up of polyurethane foam, I have created a notch/crack on it and want to know how can I find the propagation of crack till the complete bone breaks.

Thank you

Reinforced Concrete in ANSYS

Submitted by Jeffrey W. Kemper on

I am conducting a senior design project in ANSYS.  I am modeling a folded reinforced concrete plate and have never used ansys before.  Does anyone have any tutorials that involve non-linear analysis?  I am trying to get a force vs. deflection curve and I am having troubles.

 Thanks

Hi all

            I want to know about Geometric Stiffness Matrix. When we calculate the stiffness of a body when the body is deformed then the stiffness called geometric stiffness. I have refered few books but I could not get the satisfactory details. I want to find the geometric stiffness of a fluid. I dont have any idea about geometric stiffnes. Any reference for this? Any article which explains this?

thermal analysis of welds using ANSYS

Submitted by sandyxlr123 on

HI EVERYBODY,

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THE THERMAL ANALYSIS OF WELDS COUPLED WITH THE MECHANICAL ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE THE RESIDUAL STRESSES RESULTING IN IT.I HAVE COUPLE OF DOUBTS IN THIS CONCERN-

1.THERE IS THE USE OF FILLER MATERIAL-I KNOW ELEMENT DEATH AND BIRTH METHOD IS TO BE USED BEHIND IT,BUT DONT KNOW HOW TO APPLY IT

2.SECONDLY THE MOVING HEAT SOURCE-WHETHER ANY GAUSSIAN DISTRIBUTION IS TO APPLIED AND HOW TO GET A MOVING HEAT SOURCE.

3.WHETHER  ALL CONVECTIVE AND RADIATIVE BOUNDARY CONDITIONS HAVE TO BE APPLIED ON OTHER SURFACES SIMULTANEOUSLY.

Need an example of wave propagation in a plate using abaqus

Submitted by Hadishah on

Hi every body,I'm a senior student in mechanics and really I need an
example of wave propagation in a thin plate to conduct my project. At
now,main problem for me is how to apply load to get answers with
obvious wave propagtion contour plot without any thing more in just one
refelection.

Thanks in advance,

Hadishah
