HELLO,

I want to know if carbon nanotubes reinforced composites are ductile as I want to do hydroforming process by using ABAQUS or any other metal forming process that can be implemented.

If it is formable than what are values of yeild strength, ultimate tensile strength, plastic strain,etc.

the matrix material is polymer(PmPV).

THANK YOU.

<p>Hi everyone. I want to model the fasteners connecting a wood sheathing to a steel frame in Abaqus. I want to input the same force-displacement behavior for all translational directions in the plane of the sheathing (like a radial spring). <br /> <br /> I was using spring element type Spring2 (nonlinear) but I could define behavior in only 2 translational directions in the sheathing plane (X and Z). This made my model overly stiff after the elastic range. I read about the RADIAL-THRUST connector element but it does not seem to be the one.

Hello I am an undergraduate researcher working with a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar and I'm new to this site. We recently changed from a set of 3/4" aluminum bars to a set of 1/2" aluminum bars and an interesting result occured. Our data collection system consists of a pair of strain gages midway along each bar.
