Obtaining Stress Triaxiality in ABAQUS

Submitted by unsrohith on

Hi ,

     The latest versions of ABAQUS (6.8 & 6.9) gives an option to obtain the stress triaxiality at the element integration point with the input file command TRIAX. Does any one tried to use this? I used this in my input file but unable to find the respective variable in the .odb file to plot the Triaxiality contour.

 Thanks and Regards,

Tiaxiality in unit cell calculation

Submitted by Mohamed H.Miloud on

Dear imechanica Members,

I want to make a comparison between the results of a calculation of unit cell model and Gurson but I have a little problem on the triaxiality.
How to use the Riks algorithm in AbaqusCAE that the triaxiality remains constant during the loading of a unit cell?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards

Submitted by mahmoud.k.e on

Hello every body

I am working on modeling FGM plate in abaqus6.8,i know that it's possible to modeling FGP by using UMAT subroutine for definig variation of material's properties,but i don't know how can i use this subroutine,could you tell me please?

software for strain field measurement in coupon tension tests

Submitted by schuffe on

HI,

i am looking into strain field measurement for coupon tension tests for the purpose of correlation to fea results . a collegue told me that there is an open source project

which calculates strain field from camera images. does anybody know something about it?

Cheers,
