Is it possible to carryout fatigue analysis using Msc fatigue for a assembly consisiting Multi Body Dynamics.

This info is needed for my postgraduate thesis work

Problem with nominal vs true values

Submitted by Andreas Burger on

Hi,

 I have cyclic uniaxial compression data of a PU.  When I look at nominal stress vs nominal strain then the relation is clearly nonlinear (increasing stiffnes with increasing  strain).  When I convert to true stress vs true strain I still have a nonlinear relation, however, not as strong and the stiffness decreases with increasing strain.

When I look at true stress vs stretch, however, the relation seems to be almost (I'm only talking about the first loading cycle) linear. Nominal stress vs stretch is still nonlinear. 

Help on ABAQUS UMAT subroutine

Submitted by m.khorrami on

I plan to use UMAT to do some simulations on soft tissue. Since I do not have experiences on this, I hope to find some example UMAT code to start with, especially on the thermo-elasto-pelastic models. I searched from google.com, but can not find useful information. Is there any resource on UMAT fortran code for downloading? Thank you very much.

Covariant and contravariant stress tensors: difference between the Cauchy stress and the 2nd Piola-Kirrchoff stress

Submitted by Malik Ait-Bachir on

I am currently reading a book about "Material Inhomogeneities in Elasticity" written by Gérard Maugin.

He brings up the covariancy and contravariancy of some well-known stress tensors and in particular that of the Cauchy stress tensor. I was not very familiar with the concept of covariance, so i read up on this very specific tensorial notion. 

I have been able to demonstrate easily that the deformation gradient F is a mixed tensor (covariant and contravariant).

Working for a journal in collaboration

Submitted by mullerab on

I have been working in Numerical Simulation for sometime and would like to work with people who are familar with numerical simulation and are working for a certain paper right now or planning to work. I am located in Ethiopia. I am not  familiar with the research community, and instructor in one of the  university  in the country. If you are interested, I am eager to work. As it is one way of helping me  to introduce my self to the research community, while working on a certain paper, and further opens a way for addition works. 

Thanks
