hello.all.

i want to simulate the the crack initiation, but i don't know

(1)what criterion should i use for crack initiation.

(2)how to deal with the mesh(unlike other fracture model, there is no crack defined in advance in the mesh).

the material i use is structual steels.

 

 could anyone give me some advice?

thanks.

best regards

 

A question on UMAT implementation of non-local theory

Submitted by Liu Jinxing on

 

Hi, friends,

Now, I am implementing the non-local continuum theory in ABAQUS through UMAT programming.

Unfortunately, I have been obstacled by the following question:

On one hand, in non-local continuum theory, the non-local strain of every particular integration point is determined by the global strain field all over the specimen.

Unit cell model

Submitted by Gouse on

Hi,

I have modeled a two phase unit cell with one inclusion in a soft matrix. I have applied appropriate periodic boundary conditions. Load is applied a displacement. I have solved the problem using FEA through ABAQUS. Now I want macroscopic stress-strain response of the material.

What I have done is, taken the Reaction force and divided it by the area and similary displacement and didvided by length, will this give me the stress-strain response or do I have to use some homogenisation methods.

Thank You

Crystal Plasticity

Submitted by Mubeen on

I am interested in the computational crystal plasticity (elastic-viscoplastic models), and I intend to start working in this area. Therefore, I am looking for some review papers--

1- which provide an overview of the state-of-art in this area (a summary of the recognised single crystal plasticity models).

2- about the application of single crystal plasticity using micromechanics based  multiscale FEM for the prediction of texture evolution.

--------

I will be very thankful if sombody can answer these queries.
