I am working on thermal buckling of annular FGM plates using the DQ method in FORTRAN. The results show that for simply-simply edges, the nonlinear thermal buckling loads are greater than those of eigen buckling loads. But for clamped-clamped edges, as it may be expected, the nonlinear buckling loads are under estimate, i.e. they are lower than eigen buckling loads.Why?

Is it possible that the nonlinear buckling analysis gives us an over estimate load ?

Hi all ... Is there a way to find/calibrate material parameters for johnson and cook material model using experimental data in Abaqus? .. As far as i know abaqus has something called as data editor with which Hyperelastic materials models can be calibrated with experimental results. If not is there any other way arround to do calibration of material parameter with abaqus.

hi all,

How to decide the geometric nonlinearity?.

i.e If i consider a sturcutre for example-fishing rod or wind turbine blade, how to decide that the structure is geometrically nonlinear.

Does it requires lots of calculations or by experimentation... For example by just observing the structure, is it possible to decide?

What are the reasons to consider the geometric nonliearities.
