Cohsive zone element of zero thickness

Have You used ANSYS for modelling your analysis or you have used ABAQUS.  Presently I am using ANSYS for crack propagation.  I have just started my research work. I do not know much about delamination, crack propagation, debonding and how to model them all.  I am searching literature and any example related to crack propagation under static loading so that I can initiate the work.  I have attached a picture of 4 elements which may be interest for you.  and If you have some example about crack grown and delamination kindly share to me

 

Thanks and regards

Cohesive zone Examples in ANSYS

Hi

 If some one can post simple crack propagation examples using ANSYS cohesive zone approach.  It will help many readers to formulate their research work further. 

 

Thanks and best regards.

Formation of creases on the surfaces of elastomers and gels

When a block of an elastomer is bent, the compressed surface may form a crease. This paper analyzes the critical condition for creasing by comparing the elastic energy in a creased body and that in a smooth body. This difference in energy is expressed by a scaling relation. Critical conditions for creasing are determined for elastomers subject to general loads and gels swelling under constraint. The theoretical results are compared with existing experimental observations.

Spectral decomposition

Dear all,

     Many numerical implementation of plasticity model uses spectral decomposition to represent the Cauchy stress, elastic strain,  such that stress update algorithm is written in the principal directions. As a result, I wonder what makes it benefical to write the stress update algorithm in spectral form? 

 Thanks,

Numerical phase modeling of BTO nanostructure using Landis' model with FEAP

  The difference to the common model used is the f,g terms. The 3D FEM formulation has been derived and a new fortran program is written. The derivative matrix is symmetric. But the calculation result does not converge. I have tried every means to get a converging result. But it doesn't work, the residual norm always increases.

measurements of the 9 elastic constants of an orthotropic composite

Hi, it would be greatly appreciated if anyone could tell me the methods to measure the elastic constants of an orthotropic composite (3D). Can we measure one single modulus by one specific stress state? What is the efficient way to do the test? Any information related to this test is appreciated.

Thanks and regards

Yunxin

Another New Blog

Several month ago I login a account ,then writen my fist blog.But I can not think back my login email,so I have to login with a new email. In the last months ,Most of time was spend in program.My Boss except me to get repetition of Werner's work --computer simulation of dunes. Now I get work finished. It's amazing and excited.

 

Stress-induced phase transformation and pseudo-elastic/pseudo-plastic recovery in intermetallic Ni–Al nanowires

Dear friends,

I want to share our recent research work on NiAl nanowire, which is published in Nanotechnology, IOP publishing. The abstract of the paper is given below. Further details can be found at "Vijay Kumar Sutrakar et al 2009 Nanotechnology 20 295705 (9pp)   doi: 10.1088/0957-4484/20/29/295705"

 

Modelling Impact on ANSYS-AUTODYN OR ANSYS-LS-DYNA

I have one very simple question regarding ANSYS-AUTODYN and LS-DYNA. It seems that both can model impact loads.

My
questions is which can model low-velocity impacts and which can model
high-velocity impacts. I have some troubles modelling low-velocity
impacts in autodyn (changing the mass of the projectile does not affect
the pressure and the stresses on the target. Does this mean autodyn
only models high-velocity impacts)

Large deformation and electrochemistry of polyelectrolyte gels

Immersed in an ionic solution, a network of polyelectrolyte polymers imbibes the solution and swells, resulting in a polyelectrolyte gel. The swelling is reversible, and is regulated by ionic concentrations, mechanical forces, and electric potentials. This paper develops a field theory to couple large deformation and electrochemistry. A specific material model is described, including the effects of stretching the network, mixing the polymers with the solvent and ions, and polarizing the gel.

Deduction of derivatives of free-energy density function in ABAQUS UHYPER

Dear xuanhe and all,

I have reviewed the paper "Method to analyze programmable deformation of dielectric elastomer layers". (Xuanhe zhao, Zhigang Suo)

It is very insteresting.

I have one question you would like to ask you.  Hope to get your reply.

Periodic Boundary Conditions for uniaxial compression

Dear All,

I am trying to simulate mechanical behaviour of a concrete unit cell for uniaxial compression laoding. I have apllied periodic bounadary conditions on both lateral edges using linear equation option available in ABAQUS where as on top and bottom edges load is apllied. Deformed structure shows there is no lateral deformation and unit cell behaves as if it is confined laterally on both sides. I am confused about my boundary conditions whether they are correct or not. 

 Equation used to aplly periodic bounadary condition are

Mohr-Coulomb Shell in Abaqus. Help!

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi,

I am new to Abaqus and I am trying to use it to model some industrial shells. According to some preliminar studies, the material has a mohr-coulomb plastic behaviour. Thus, I wanted to use shell elements, with a mohr-coulomb plastic material, but it seems that it is not possible in Abaqus.

According to the theoretical manual and the user manual (18.3.3-6):

Dynamic Modeling for Viscoelastic material using ANSYS

Hello,

I am planing to model a viscolestic material in ANSYS and condition is dynamic.

Could anyone please suggest what are the essential things (i mean datas) required for modeling a viscoelastic material?

For example, If I do the DMA test of viscoelastic materials i can have the modulus data at different frequencies. How to use those data in ANSYS to find out the stress-strain curve?

Thnaks for your kind help

zero thickness cohesive zone with curvature (update)

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi everyone:
   I am henry, a graduate student in USA. These days, I am trying to make a zero thickness cohesive zone with curvature. After I define this and get everyting set up, then submit the job, the warning windows pop out and tell me the following error messages:
The node numbering might not be correct for element 2010 instance cohesive-1
The node numbering might not be correct for element 2010 instance cohesive-1
The node numbering might not be correct for element 2029 instance cohesive-1

For Geotechnics Abaqus Users!

Hello colleagues,

Iam trying to model load test on board pile. I have already a model which is working but not as I need. I think the interaction between pile and soil is not correctly defined. Has someone an experience with this issue.? How I should define the interaction between soil and pile?

Attached .inp file.

Regards

Ziyad
