research

<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.

hi everyone,

 i am doing my dissertation on buckling of channel section. so i have used abaqus software to do the analysis. i did the modelling and applided unit load n given pinned-pinned end condition. and i have used constraints to both ends such that the load applied on the edge is concentrated at a point .

but the results i.e mode shapes are not coming properly even the eigen values are very less compaired to calculated buckling load.

plz help me out. 

dimensions of specimen channel section

width of web 100mm

width of flange 50mm
