Accurate Implicit Time Integration in Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis
Using an effective time marching procedure is an important aspect in the implicit finite element analysis
of nonlinear dynamic problems. Here, we demonstrate some of the difficulties that can arise through an
example involving contact chatter and fluid structure interaction:
Hi everyone,
I'm a master student of mechanical engineering in the field of applied design.
I am looking for a good proposal to convince the university to accept that for
my final research. I appreciate that anyone can help me with this.
thank you

Dear all,
I would like to ask you how is it possible to import into Abaqus from Matlab a plot for the geometry of my specimen.How should I save my workspace and what changes should I make to the file to be an input file for Abaqus?

Dear All,
I am am using share node cohesive element in axisymmetric analysis. I want to use friction between two joined blocks when cohesive elements break. I tried this with using general contact definition in Abaqus 6.8. To do so, I am defining element based surface but while running the simulation the abaqus gives following error:
***ERROR: *CONTACT currently does not support the use of 2D surfaces.
Can anyone help to find out what can be wrong with my surface definition.
With regards and best wishes,
Prabhat
Everybody knows that cardboard paper can be a highly
anisotropic material. You can easily bend or roll it in one direction
and it is stiff in the other. If you take a close look you will find
that the paper is periodically buckled along one direction. We have now
exploited this phenomenon on the nanoscale to define the roll-up
direction of ultra-thin membranes on a substrate surface.
Dear Colleagues,
Please distribute the following annoucement to your graduate students,
and first year post-doc researchers.
The deadline for submission is January 15th, 2011.
Happy New Year !

Hi all,
I am using abaqus to model a nanoindentatin problem and always meet some
warnings. There are generally three types of warnings, as shown below.
Is there anyone who know how to resolve this kinds of problem. I have
been struggling to this problem for a couple of days. So, you help will
be highly appreciated.

I am workingon a model in which i have a soft layer of material bonded between to rigidlayers of material via cohesive elements following a linear separation-tractionlaw based on a critical fracture energy value I determined from experimentaland numerical work. I have the interlayer and cohesive elements as one partwith a partitioned face and connected to the two adherends viasurface-to-surface ties. I have found that my model runs successfully only ifthe soft interlayer material is made very stiff.
