Thermal stresses from pre-defined temperature data (thermography image)

Submitted by Aitor Garcia on

I´m facing a problem in which a I´d like to assess stresses due to thermal gradients. I have an IR thermography image (recorded as a matrix) and I like to introduce those temperatures to Abaqus via Matlab.

Is that possible? Or should I use FORTRAN with the UTEMP subroutine?

Thanks in advance,

Soil Modeling

Submitted by shivananjegowda137 on

Hi

Please help in modeling the soil.

I  modelled soil as non linear springs in Abaqus?Standarads and analysed the pipe behavior for hydrodynamic loading.

I am currently planned to model the pipe-soil interaction with soil as an 2D or 3D element along with contact properties. Give me suggestion or methods how can i model soil.Suggested reading materials.I have gone through the abaqus documentation.It tell that soil can be modeled as 2D or 3D.I am really confused which one to use. 

Please give me some steps in creating soil and pipe model .

Abaqus, element removal

Submitted by Hossein on

Hi everybody,

 is there anyone who is familiar with element deletion or removal to predict crackopening in RC member model in ABAQUS?

I've made a 2D model of RC beam in abaquse with brittle cack properties and brittle failure but I could not get any result. Can I make my model by concrete damage plasticity and using abaqus standard to apply element removal?

I will really appreciate anyone who helps me to solve my problem.

 Thanks in advance

Dynamics of AFM cantilevers

Submitted by venapa on

Hi everyone,

I am looking for papers on the dynamics of AFM cantilevers in contact with non linear material samples. In particular, I am interested in forced armonic vibrations of the catinlevers.

I have seen many papers on intermittent contact (or tapping) which has a number of additional problems w.r.t. the contact mode.

Many thanks for the help.

Element remoal

Submitted by Hossein on

Hi

I am intending to make a concrete member model to investigate crack opening in tension zone. First, I wanted to use crack propagation model and could not get good result. So, I think that I can do it by using stress/strain principal failure and element removal.

I've tried to fiure out how I can apply this method in my model.

Is there enyone who has experience in this issue? Could you please help me in this matter?

 

Notch stress distributions

Submitted by michele.zappal… on

Dear all,

this is for all people interested in notch analyses. 

In the links below you can find some recent works of mine about linear and nonlinear stress distributions for different kind of notches under torsion.

Hope they will be useful to someone:

Slope of The Non Linear Stress Strain Curve at Proof Stress

Submitted by asit_rathod1 on

Dear All

Hi..

Can Any body tell Me The calculation of the E_t Tangent And E_s Secant Modules VAlues of the Stress Strain curve?...

i had go through some of graphs but i dont get it?..it will be help ful to understanfd the E_t And E_s?..

i had values of Stress and Strain and also a Stress strain curve available..

Plz do need ful..
