characteristic Length

Submitted by m0435117 on

Hi

 

is there a way to get the characteristic length of one element? I wanna calculate xult (when the element is cracked, fracutred..). 

 I use the concrete damage plasticity model and after reaching the tensile strength i assume a linear softening with fracture energy.

 

Input are:

   Young´s modulus

   max. tensile strength

   fracture energy

 

Outpu:

   when do i reach xult or what is the plastic strain equivalent

Would you like to recommend some ebooks on computational nonlinearity?

Submitted by Jing_Yang on

Hi, everyone:

    I'm recently very interested in computational nolinearity. Would you like recommend some monographs on the computation nonlinearity so that i can have a better understanding of the mechanism of ABAQUS.

    Thanks

  

ERROR in ABAQUS

Submitted by mahyar on

Hi colleague

 does anybody know, what is this strange error :   Error in connection to analysis

i am trying to model fracture mechanics on piezoelecteric material, when i select the piezoelectric as a familiy in mesh part, then when runing the model, i recieve this error. if anybody knows how to fix it please help me.thanks 

reading nodal values (EFENRRTR) into a UMAT routine

Submitted by jodavies03 on

Hi,



I am using the VCCT method to model crack propagation and I am finding the value of G/Gc is too large for any sensible time step (1e-25).



I am attempting to incorporate a time incrementation scheme into my UMAT which monitors EFENRRTR and modifies the time step (or PNEWDT) according to it's value.

Hi, I am new to ABAQUS. I want to simulate the fracture toughness test to predict the behaviour of materials(brittle/ductile). Please help me how can I proceed?

If possible give me some guidelines and if you have any documents regarding this topic kindly send it to: sufian.ulsan [at] gmail.com

Thanks in advance for your valuable suggession.
