HAi all,

 

I am a gradute student working on my thesis.Right now i am working on the EDM TOOl wear simulation. CAN ANY BODY HELP ME  on how to do modelling of ELECTRICAL discharge machining tool wear using ansys. Its very urgent . By simulation i need to produce a spark between an electrode and work piece. Due to dischartool shape chages. I am intrested in this tool wear

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

HAI ,

 

My name is krishna. I am a graduate student working on ansys.My advisor told me to simulate edm tool wear using ansys software. i am trying to get spark produced at the end of the tool .But i am not getting the results.Pls can any by help me with this simulation.

 

 

Its very urgent

 

Thanks

About the polycrystal plasticity

Submitted by Yuanpei Duan on

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build polycrystal plasticity model  by using UMAT subroutine in ABAQUS. As we know, the orientation of grain is always espressed by Euler's angles. What I want to know is  how to assign different initial orientations to different grains using Euler's angles in Umat subroutine. Could anybody tell me how to do? Is there any example ?

Many Thanks,

Yuanpei

Void expansion as wave phenomena - might damage evolution be mathematically related to fluid dynamics and turbulence?

Submitted by Amit Acharya on

The main idea is the following: a most natural mathematical setup for considering the motion of the void-solid interface of an expanding void is that of the traveling wave. Thus, a theory for macroscopic damage evolution may be suspected as being a homogenized version of basic theory that has such wave phenomena as an essential ingredient. This paper is a first step in probing such questions. 

Mechanism to increase energy efficiency

Submitted by Jigar Y. Patel on

As shown in figure two pulleys can rotate about their axis. Stationary
plate is simply supported on these two pulleys. Now the weight of
stationary plate applied on each pulley in vertical downward direction
is Mg/2. This Mg/2 will divided in two parts. One is tangential and
second is towards the center. Tangential part will help to rotate
pulleys and toward the center part will generate the friction.

Force is stationary and it can help to rotate pulleys at some angle.

Size effects under homogeneous deformation of single crystals: A discrete dislocation analysis

Submitted by PJ Guruprasad on

 doi:10.1016/j.jmps.2007.03.009

Mechanism-based discrete dislocation
plasticity is used to investigate the effect of size on micron scale
crystal plasticity under conditions of macroscopically homogeneous
deformation. Long-range interactions among dislocations are naturally
incorporated through elasticity. Constitutive rules are used which
account for key short-range dislocation interactions. These include

Extended Chaboche viscoplastic model for cyclic loading

These days I've been applying oneself to implement the Chaboche viscoplastic model in ABAQUS user-subroutine for simulating the cyclic loading in single crystals.

The procedure can easily get out. I'm not sure about the problem, the deduction of Jacobian, the convergence? 

Btw, I know there is free subroutine for crystal plasticity by Huang YG. I wonder if the UMAT routine for chaboche model is available, then I can generalize it to fit for my case.
