Underlying Material Response for Lüders-Like Instabilities

Submitted by Julian Hallai on

► The underlying material response of partially unstable materials is measured. ► This is done for Lüders deformed steel and a shape memory alloy. ► They both exhibit an up-down-up response. ► The extracted responses used in numerical models reproduce the structural responses.

[Abaqus] How to assign surface properties to all elements?

Submitted by cooljoon78 on

Dear All,

Anyone know how to assign surface contact properties to all elements in Abaqus?

i.e. all elements have contact (cohesive) properties on each boudary, so a crack propagates following those boundaries without defining pre-known crack path.

Does Abaqus support those automatic insertion fuction since manually inserting properties to all elementary boundaries is non sense...

Thank you in advance,

Joon

where to find the datum of plastic-damage model of concrete??

Submitted by Jing_Yang on

Dear all,

Where can we find the datum of plastc and damage evolution in uniaxial case for concrete of some specfic strength? It seems that datum associated with plasticity or damage can not be found in concrete code. But when you use the damaged plasticity model integrated in ABAQUS, these datum are indispensible.

Needed: Dielectric Elastomer transducers made to spec

Submitted by bpfilardo on

My company urgently needs to identify an individual or organization who can
fabricate a couple of hundred small Dielectric Elastomer transducers for an
R&D project.  The work could be done under contract.  We have
started making our own but it is becoming clear there is a learning curve plus
much trial and error and we are short on time.

If you think you might be able to make them or if you can suggest

Bifurcation Analysis in Abaqus

Submitted by AliADawood on

Hello Everyone,

Im relatively new to Abaqus and I have to carry out a bifurcation analysis of a pipe. Once that is done I need to add the imperfection wavelength and amplitude calculated to the pipe and carry out further simulations.

 

Ive been trying very hard to get a direction as to where to start with it. Can anyone please help me with it? I know that you need to carry out a buckle analysis that will give you a wrinkle pattern on the pipe. This inturn will add up to the bifurcation scheme that you get.
