How difference between Static analysis and Dynamic analysis in ABAQUS

Submitted by Sutham_eng on

Dear everyone,



Could anyone please explains to me how difference between Static (General) analysis and Dynamic (Explicit) analysis in ABAQUS?



In my case, I have already created subroutine VUMAT for Dynamic Explicit analysis. So, is it possible to use the same code (same algorithm) for creating UMAT in Static General analysis?



Thank you very much indeed

ABAQUS - XFEM

i am using XFEM in a 2D analysis (plate under uniaxial tension) and would like to get the SIFs at different crack lengths to compare with published data for verification before i start performing crack propogation analyses.
 
My problem is, history outputs are not available for crack growth in XFEM only static cracks (at least from what i read).  

Ideally, i would love to get the SIFs as they change through the crack propagation. 
 
Anyone have any ideas on this?

Fiber Modelling of fiber failure in Abaqus ABAQUS, Fiber failure, failure criteria , Fiber Composite  , composite I am presently working on modelling of fiber failure inof a composite lamina on ABAQUS. After researching a lot, Even after researching a lot, I haven't been able to find a damage criteria which  can depict natural failure in of a fiber. I do not want to induce a crack in it and break it or put in a cohesive layer. I want to break it as it breaks naturally. 


stress relaxation- doubt

Submitted by hariharan on

Attached herewith a classical paper by Hart on introducing a concept of constant hardness curves refuting that absolute strain should not be considered as a state variable.

 

The interesting part is he uses a stress relaxation test to prove the same. Stress relaxation test, here refers to a tensile test, where the test is stopped after say certain amount of plastic deformation. The stress drops a little, but the total strain is constant. However, it is argued that there is a small inelastic deformation, which is the cause of this load or stress drop.
