This paper will describe the process of simulating the mechanism of wear that occur at the treads when a track is rolled over a surface. The objective of this research is to obtain an analytical procedure, validated with field tests that will help us understand better the conditions that affect rubber erosion at the treads to develop new rubber tread designs.

This paper show possible selections of material models in conjunction with material damage models, adequately describing thin polymer films behaviour.
Comparison between the physical test and the virtual test, exerted to fracture Mode I – Centre Cracked Tension, showed a good correlation for the chosen modeling technique.

This report demonstrates these new capabilities of MCNP, specifically the use of unstructured mesh human phantoms for health
physics and medical applications.

The wind-load response of braced and un-braced loading dock doors installed in industrial facilities in hurrican-prone areas was evaluated using Abaqus.

Simulation of the Quasi-static Crushing of a Fabric Composite Plate is a methodology for modeling the crushing behavior of composite structures using
Abaqus/Explicit. Very good quantitative and qualitative agreement between the
numerical results and experimental data is shown, demonstrating the utility of
Abaqus/Explicit for assessing the crashworthiness of composite structures and
reducing the amount of costly experimental testing.

An automated Isight optimization workflow for the calibration of material
parameters is presented. Using component models from the Abaqus Worldwide Side
Impact Dummy (WorldSID) we will validate one of the calibrated material
parameters by comparing the response of several dummy sub-assemblies with
experimental data.

The smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) analysis method in Abaqus/Explicit
overcomes this difficulty. In this Technology Brief, the SPH
technique will be used to determine the FSI response of a generic prosthetic
heart valve.

Abaqus/Standard provides an analysis capability that allows for coupling between
heat transfer, pore fluid flow, and displacement. We demonstrate how this capability can be used to simulate the thermally
assisted gravity drainage of an oil sand formation.

Hot rolling is a basic metal forming technique that is used to transform
preformed shapes into final products or forms that are suitable for further
processing.  The important aspects of this manufacturing operation are the
elongation and spread of the material during the rolling process.

A fully coupled fluid-structure interaction analysis of a wind turbine rotor is
presented. Abaqus/Standard and STAR-CCM+ are directly coupled through the
SIMULIA co-simulation engine. With this approach, a high fidelity modeling
strategy can be used to develop an accurate understanding of the blade dynamics.

Simulation of the Ballistic Perforation of Aluminum Plates describes Abaqus/Explicit modeling of the ballistic impact of metal projectiles
on metal targets. It will demonstrate the utility of Abaqus/Explicit as a tool
for reducing the amount of experimental testing as well as assessing the
projectile residual velocities and time-resolved kinematics. 

Pipeline Rupture in Abaqus/Standard will be used to predict the burst pressure of a steel pipe-line
with a notch-type defect. A ductile damage initiation criterion is used, and
favorable comparison with available experimental data will be shown.

It is a methodology for building a coupled electromagnetic and fluid-structure
interaction analysis of a solenoid valve. A seamless integration between the
applicable analysis techniques allows for the simulation of the complex
multiphysics interactions.

Dear all,

I have a problem in model verification for a curved beam model. I have formulated an Euler-Bernoulli beam model similar to the following paper (refered as Pai's model), but employing Euler angle description.
