Mechanics for soft machines

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

I gave a seminar at Xian Jiaotong University on 27 October 2009.  I recently found the video of the seminar online.  The seminar was in Chinese, but the slides were in English.

If the subject interests you, the following papers will lead you to the literature.

ABAQUS - NON-LINEAR FOUNDATION

Submitted by jfonfria on

Dear collages,

 

I'm trying to develop a non-linear analysis. I want to model a foundation as a shell, and I want to consider the stiffness of the soil (but I have to define also that the stiffness in traction is = 0, and in compression is equal to the Winkler module). I want to develop this model in ABAQUS software. Could anyone help to me?

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Juan José

Hi

I am working on the modeling of curing process of polymer

we may like to take a look on my recent publications:

Hossain, M. ; Possart, G. ; Steinmann, P.A Finite Strain Framework for the Simulation of Polymer Curing. Part II. Viscoelasticity and shrinkage .Computational Mechanics, published online

hyperelastic or elastic skin model in Abaqus

Submitted by Izabela on

Dears,  I am quite new in the area of Abaqus models and biomechanics. My background is related with textiles. However I am a post doc in Belgium at the moment and my new task is to model a fingertip skin section under the influence of contact with different objects.

Help for contact problem in tires

Submitted by pradeep632 on

HI

     I am trying to modeled a 3D tire assembly for a tire footprint. I assembled the tire, rim and the rigid-body as the road. I modeled the rim as an analytical rigid body. I am using STATIC GENERAL as the stpe with automatic stabilization. I have defined a following for the contact formulation in ABAQUS Standard:

1) Between the tire and road (analytical rigid-body):Surface to surface contact - Master surface: analytical rigid-body and Slave surface : the tire surface in contact with the rigid-body. The ineraction properties are:
