In this study, the analysis parameters have been investigated and a correlation with physical test results has been set. This test is much more important for a light commercial vehicle (LCV) because LCV has bigger roof area, more straight style and as a result of these two properties it has heavier roof panel than the other vehicle.
In this study finite element computations are conducted using Abaqus to simulate indentation of transversely isotropic materials. Indentation simulation is carried out both perpendicular and parallel to the plane of isotropy using a 70.3 degree cone half-angle indenter.
This presentation demonstrate how all of the experimentally observed behaviors of this important material can be accurately simulated using Abaqus. Particular emphasis will be placed on the material model
selection and calibration.
The structural component investigated is a roll mill bar which sustain a plug for atransversal rolling of steel pipes. The improvement of the stiffness of this component is the target of the simulation to achieve the desired flexional displacement. An optimization tool is used to achieve the target in a proper and fast way.
In this paper we identify two components as candidates for weight reduction. In order to achieve this goal without sacrificing the current performance of these components we use ATOM optimization software
within Abaqus environment.
The main goal of this study is to improve the understanding of cure-induced microcracking through the development of realistic numerical models validated with experimental data. Specifically, microcracking predictions of unit cell FEA models of two different fiber architectures are compared with results of micro-computed tomography scans of actual panels with the same fiber architectures.
This paper presents use of contact simulation and *MODEL CHANGE features in Abaqus to simulate the construction process of the 23-degree skew Parkview Bridge for design verification and assessing durability of the structural system.
This paper will describe the process of simulating the mechanism of wear that occur at the treads when a track is rolled over a surface. The objective of this research is to obtain an analytical procedure, validated with field tests that will help us understand better the conditions that affect rubber erosion at the treads to develop new rubber tread designs.
This paper show possible selections of material models in conjunction with material damage models, adequately describing thin polymer films behaviour.
Comparison between the physical test and the virtual test, exerted to fracture Mode I – Centre Cracked Tension, showed a good correlation for the chosen modeling technique.
This report demonstrates these new capabilities of MCNP, specifically the use of unstructured mesh human phantoms for health
physics and medical applications.
