Streamline Measurement Process with Technological Advance Tooling for Measuring Brake Disc

Submitted by sifisonxumalo on

Any who has ideas on my reseasch project.

These are the topics are need to cover for now.

1. Wearing modes to classify the disc failure.

2. What are the latest advance technological technics avaliable to measure disc brakes more efficient, 100% accurate with scale of micro's and effective.

3. Any work that has been conducted on disc brake modes literature

4. How big is this problem brake disc failure global 

Fatigue

Submitted by Panos Efthymiadis on

Dear all,

       I would like to ask you, how is it possible to simulate fatigue in Abaqus. I have created my loading. But if I run it as it is it will never reach a critical value, so you could say there is no damage evolution. Is it the only way is to apply some type of hysteresis loop evolution and say that after some cycles the hysteresis loop changes?

Any advice is more than welcome!

Regards,

Unit cell modeling using Abaqus submodeling

Submitted by Gouse on

Hi,

I was going though papers related to micromechanical modeling of composites using unit cell approach. Usually in this procedure, a unit cell is isolated from the material and to ensure the compatabilty of the unit cell boundary, periodic boundary conditions are applied.

To ensure the compatabilty of the boundary and to apply loads, can we use submodeling techniques available in ABAQUS.

Thank you

Regards
