Strain values transformed in a rotated x'y'-Cartesian coordinate system with ABAQUS

Submitted by Mohammed Bouchelarm on

Dear All,

I'm trying to get strains in some specific points (along a path) from the xy-Cartesian coordinate system to a local x'y'-Cartesian coordinate system rotated through an angle (theta) which means transform the strains (Ex,Ey) to (Ex',Ey') as described in the attached figure, something I usually do manually with Mohr's circle and I wonder if I can do it directly with Abaqus ?

Thank you in advance !

Regards.

Mohammed.

Fracture mechanics of shape memory alloys: review and perspectives

Submitted by Theocharis on

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are intermetallic alloys displaying recoverable strains that can be an order of magnitude greater than in traditional alloys due to their capacity to undergo a thermal and/or stress-induced martensitic phase transformation. Since their discovery, the SMA industry has been dominated by products for biomedical applications with geometrically small feature sizes, especially endovascular stents.

Multiple positions in modeling & simulation of layered tissue structures @ Cleveland Clinic

Submitted by Ahmet Erdemir on

Erdemir Laboratory at the Cleveland Clinic (http://www.lerner.ccf.org/bme/erdemir/lab/) has three positions for an upcoming project on the biomechanics of multi-layer tissue structures of musculoskeletal extremities with emphasis on computational modeling & simulation. The positions will initially be for a duration of one year with the possible extension to three years.

PREDICTION FOR DEFORMED PART WITH TIME

Submitted by albanna on

Dear ALL,

Does anyone here has an experience carry out  FE analysis for a part[bracket] which was deformed plastically during cyclic loading test.

I'm now working to resolve this issue when a bracket was fail to withstand the constant loading of 500N during cyclic test. It was reported fail at ~3800 cycles which was less than target.
