Dispersion curve for Lamb waves using Abaqus

Submitted by r_1159 on

Dear all

I am trying to plot the dispersion curbve for wave propagation in an ALuminum beam under S0 and A0 lambwave.  My simulation has completed and I thin the results are reasonable as long as visualization is concerned.

I am trying to plot dispersion curve for these two waves using Abaqus outputs. As far as I know I need to use Abaqus outputs such as displacement or velocity for calculation of wave speed.

1- How would I calculate wave speed by Abaqus outputs and is this calculated wave speed the phase velocity or group velocity ?

selecting suface nodes in orphan mesh by python script????

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

Hi,

    I have a 3D orphan mesh in abaqus and I need to select a group of nodes that belong to the orphan mesh and that would have been on a 3D surface of the parent solid before it was orphaned.

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) in ABAQUS

I've got problems using SPH (smoothed particle hydrodynamic), Is SPH
 analysis in ABAQUS coupled with heat transfer analysis??? I'm trying to
simulate Friction Stir Welding (FSW) with SPH Method, I need to predict
temperature  history during welding! Is there any software to do
this??? THANKS TO ALL

Cutting process simulation in Abaqus

Submitted by rezaalavi1000 on

Hello ,

 I am working on a project using abaqus to
simulate miling process. As the first stage, I have to be able to simulate cutting process in Abaqus. I have looked up Abacus 6.11 documentaion a lot but did not find too much of usefull information. Could any one kindly give some hints how to develop such model or introduce me some usefull complete resources?

Regards,

Reza

Learn How St. Gobain is Saving Time and Money with Abaqus and Isight

We just can't bottle up this exciting story...

I'm excited to share a recently published article posted on
Design World entitled, Keeping
carbonation bottled up with FEA
. In it, author Chris Hardee had the
opportunity to interview Xavier Brajer of Verallia at Saint-Gobain’s Research
Center. Xavier explained how he and his 15-person Mechanics of Materials Group
in the company’s R&D department use Abaqus and Isight to save time and
money when designing glass bottles.

 

material model for glass machining

Submitted by farzad pashmforoush on

Hello every body

I am working on the simulation of micromachining of “glass” in abaqus.
Although the glass is brittle, it shows some plasticity in micromachining
because of the high hydrostatic pressure field present in the machining region.
Now I am looking for an appropriate material model for glass with
elasto-plastic behavior which allows element deletion. I am not sure if "johnson-Holmquist damage model" is suitable for machining simualtion or not? I would be very thankful
if anyone would please help me.

With best regards

Farzad
