MODELLING RVE FOR SFRC

Submitted by ayashwarya on

Hello!

I have to model the RVE for steel fiber reinforced concrete using abaqus. I have to validate it for compressive behaviour and drop weight impact analysis. I am new to abaqus and i have no idea how to do it. Can someone please help me do it? I am in serious need of some sort of guidance.

Modeling of the muscle-like actuation in soft dielectrics: deformation mode and electromechanical stability

Submitted by Bo Li on

Soft dielectric elastomer is able to generate an

electromechanical response in terms of reversible shape

changing, which is a muscle-like behavior. The deformation

and electromechanical stability of dielectric elastomers,

classified by their deformation modes, uniaxial extension,

equal biaxial expansion and pure shear, are investigated.

Pull-in instability occurs in equal biaxial and uniaxial modes

at a small stretch ratio, while the pure shear mode features

wrinkling instability after a large stable deformation. The

plotting force- displacement

Submitted by Pooria kh on

Dear friends

I want to plot force-displacement figure for simulation of axial impact in Abaqus;  after using reference points for defining the
displacement and force in tubes and plates , I encounter
two problems:

1)      1)Amount of forces are
negative.

2)      2)I need to filter the figure
because forces have some vibrations in the figure and they are not zero  after rebounding;
they have sine form. So, I have to filter them?

Please let me know how to solve
it.

XFEM convergence problem(the problem has converged, along Meshsize not...)

Submitted by zsc13810288137 on

Hallo,

i have the following problem, when i refine the mesh of Mode I fracture with XFEM, the Force Displacement curve seems not to converge.

Mesh Size:

15*15

25*25

51*51

75*75

the reaction force is going to be smaller and smaller...

can somebody help me? thank u very much!!

help needed in writing matlab code for finite element analysis of composite with piezo layers

Submitted by chakry84 on

hi everybody,

                   the element that i considered is 8 noded 2d isoparametric element. composite consists of 5 layers out of which the top and bottom are piezo layers. please help me in writing matlab code for the problem specified .
