What are the regular iteration steps of cohesive model based FEM for crack problems

Submitted by Wen Ye on

   Hi, 
         I'm now start to learn cohesive zone model based FEM for crack problems. According the a regular coehsize model (bilinear for example), the relative displacement and the cohesive stress are both unknwon, so iteration is required. My question is that what are the regular iteration steps?
 
Thanks. 

Doing Topology Optimization Explicitly and Geometrically - A New Moving Morphable Components Based Framework

Submitted by Xu Guo on

    Structural topology optimization, which aims at placing available material within a prescribed design domain appropriately in order to achieve optimized structural performances, has received considerable research attention since the pioneering work of Bendsoe and Kikuchi. Many approaches have been proposed for structural topology optimization and it now has been extended to a wide range of physical disciplines such as acoustics, electromagnetics and optics.

i everyone,

I am UG student of Mechanical Engineering. I am a new user of Abaqus and currently working on co-simulation for my final year  project. Actually what I am doing is prediction of heat transfer due to fluid flow in a tube of known diameter across which air is flowing, also called as conjugate heat transfer.

I created model in Abaqus/standard named Tube, created part as Tube

Ultra high speed imaging of impact fracture

Submitted by D.Rittel on

Here are some movies of impact fracture of various test cases, recorded at up to 5Mfps using the new Kirana camera. The sensor is not the final one yet, but the results are promising. Wedge loaded PMMA plates with holes reveal very nice crack branching (somewhat analogous to fireworks). My students Y. Rotbaum and A. Godinger who performed to test cases thought that Haendel "lascia chio pianga" is appropriate. I don't take a stance on that!

Enjoy:

 

ductile behaviour

Submitted by ANKIT BARANWAL on

I have done flat plate tensile test experiment with plate having u notch at different angle to get mixed mode behaviour.The experiment shows the force variation F(30 DEG)>F(45 DEG)>F(0 DEG)>F(60 DEG) While fem elasto-plastic model made in abaqus shows F(0 DEG)>F(30 DEG)>F(45 DEG)>F(60 DEG).

Can anyone tell me why this contradiction is there between experiment and fem model.
