Modeling associative Tresca plasticity in ABAQUS?

Submitted by mmd110 on

Hi

I have a simple question. How could I model associative Tresca plasticity in ABAQUS?

 I use Property module: material editor: Mechanical:Plasticity:Mohr Coulomb Plasticity

I know that In the case (friction angle=0) of  the Mohr-Coulomb model reduces to the pressure-independent Tresca model with a perfectly hexagonal deviatoric section. 

How to calculate total load in a displacement control analysis in abaqus

Hi,

I'm modeling a pull-out test for FRP debonding. I,m using displacement control and used amplitude to define displacement control boundary condition for example

amp*

0,0

0.15,1.0

 

I used concrete damage plasticity model to define tensile damage of concrete and done abaqus explicit analysis with time period same as for amplitud,  i.e.,0.15

huge difference of Young's modulus in sandwich structure

Submitted by Han Shiwei on

I am modeling a plate under three point bending with Abaqus. The plate
is a sandwich structure with aluminum plate (thickness: 5mm), adhesive glue (thickness:
0.02mm) and a kind of foam (thickness: 15mm) bonding together. Their Young’s
modulus is at the order of 100GPa, 1MPa and 100MPa. While in incremental
calculation, the job is always be aborted for not achieving convergence. I just
wonder whether the cause of not achieving convergence should be attributed to
the huge difference in Young’s modulus.

Molecular dynamics (MD) and density functional theory (DFT) studies were performed to investigate the influence of vacancy defects on generalized stacking fault (GSF) energy of fcc metals.

Element Weakening Method (EWM) in ABAQUS 6.12/6.13

Submitted by pateljay26 on

Hello All,

Currently,I am modeling elasto-plastic buckling of laminated composites. I started with 3 layers (fiber-matrix-fiber) respresenting unit cell of composite. The model is made with material non linearity and incremental approach - Modified Riks Algorithm has been used for buckling analysis. My try would be to get plastic buckling in the model. For this I need to introduce "Element Weakening Method" (EWM) which allows user's choice to assign weak properties or reduced stiffness to the selected elements. Consequently, this helps in propagating damage.

Greetings my dear friends!

I'm Amin and its my first post!I'm studying mechanical Engineering in Semnan University in Iran and by the time  I'm workin' on entropy generation calculation for laminar and terbulent
fully developed forced flow and heat transfer of nanofluids inside
annul.I'd be really glad if anyone could give me hand with it .

Have someone met a strange behavior of Load-Displacement curve in a simple 2D indentation problem

Submitted by minhtran.1986.vn on

I am modelling a very simple 2D contact problem between a rigid wedge indenter and a deformable squared-shape specimen (general steel material) in frictionless contact case. I used an implicit function f to describe the rigid indenter.



I implemented Lagrange multiplier method for this contact problem and the contact condition is: Inside the contact zone of the deformable specimen, the node set is active if f(node)<=0 and the Lagrange multiplier lambda<=0.
