Non-uniform expansion coefficient alpha in UEXPAN (ABAQUS)

Submitted by youmotou on

I want to define the expansion coefficient alpha as a function of the depth, alpha(z)=f(z). How can I achieve this in UEXPAN? I cannot find a way to incorporate coordinates in UEXPAN.

Hello

brothers

Currently,

I‘m working on the determination of the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes

for different loading cases using ANSYS software ( i need to use them in my

model). My Finite Element model of graphene and carbon nanotube is working fine with beam188 element, but I have

some technical problems in my simulation. These problem are summarized in

points as follow;

load effect in ansys

Submitted by engmohsen on

hi everyone;

we know that axial load effect on dynamic responses of structur ( for example comparsion axial load decreas frequencies) and Modal analysis does not depend on load too.

i want to obtain dynamic responses for simply supported beam under axial load. How do modal analysis in the presence of axial load in ansys (How apply effect of axial load)???

plz help me

 

Deep Rolling simulation in ABAQUS

Submitted by farajzare on

Hi all

I want to simulate the deep rolling process(as seen as in attachment)

in this model I defined 2 steps,at first, the rigid ball create a pressure to cylinder to create residual stress and at the second step the ball begins displacement with

a low speed in direction of cylinder longitude to create surface overlap, while the cylinder is rotating in both steps.

in this model I have used the explicit solver but it takes too much time and elements convergence cannot be accomplished.

how can i reduce the time of my solution?
