VUMAT user subroutine dealing with several integration points

Submitted by Manaliac on

Hello All,

 

I have some questions concerning the VUMAT subroutine, I run successfully an
analysis on one element with one integration point,

so my first question is how to code for several integration points (
nblock concerns only the material points not the integration points)?


My second question is how to write for datas dependent of temperature (like Young and shear modulus)??


Thank you all for your answers.

The Introduction of Shear Modification to Gurson Model

Submitted by Liang Xue on

I have been asked questions about how the shear modification was introduced to the Gurson model. I was also asked to compare my modification (see Xue L., Constitutive modeling of void shearing effect in ductile fracture of porous materials, Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2008, 75(11):3343-3366) to John Hutchinson's modification (Nahshon, K., Hutchinson, J.W., Modification of the Gurson model for shear failure. European Journal of Mechanics A/Solids, 2008, 27:1-17).

The mechanical behavior of mono- and multi- layered graphene and carbon nanotube (CNT) systems has attracted great attention over the last decade because of their importance in nano-science and nanotechnology.

FROTRAN subrountines for ABAQUS in bone remodeling simulation

I'm new in the computer simulation of adaptive bone remodeling (Bone will adapt to the loads it is placed under). And I know many research cases of numerical model were implemented as FROTRAN subrountines for the software package ABAQUS: the bone material properties will be updated by the subroutine.

I know FROTRAN is excellent at handling large data sets for scientific coumputing and requires less resources, but I haven't learned the FROTRAN.I wonder what else irreplacable advantages of FROTRAN in the bone remodeling?

Special Issue on 'Mechanics of Liquid and Solid Foams' freely available online!

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

This Special Issue of the International Journal of Solids and Structures includes sixteen articles presented at the international symposium: Mechanics of Liquid and Solid Foams. The symposium was organized under the auspices of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (http://www.iutam.net) and was held at the University of Texas at Austin in May 8-13, 2011. The papers deal with various aspects of mechanical behavior of cellular materials and foams in particular, and represent the state of the art in the field.
