Define crack when using cohesive surfaces in abaqus

Submitted by abhishekaran on

Hello,

Im trying to model Delamination in abaqus using cohesive surfaces. I did the following :

-created a cohesive intertaction property, defined damage initialisation and evolution in this and then used general contact between 2 surface and used the interaction property for it.

-For the initial crack i left a certain region unbounded and used a double cantilever model.

smeared crack concrete output problem

Submitted by rabeeshammas on

Hello Guys.. I am modelling single dry shear key which is in the joint of segmental bridge, I model the concrete by using

smeared concrete model.the model in working and i get the results .Please can anyone help me how to find the crack

 pattern ?? Really i stoprd at this point for more than 15 days !! I read the manual and it says that output information for

smeared concrete model is CRACK and CONF but I cant figure out where can I find it ..on the other word how I can

Abaqus CAE- buckling analysis eigenvalue

Submitted by Gullos on

Dear members,

 

my question is about how to use the Abaqus CAE eigenvalue for a linear buckling analysis.

I did a linear buckling analysis for a gFRP vertical panel (h:270  thick:20 w:50 cm). I applied a uniform pressure with value 1 on the top of the panel along the Z axis.

Mode 1 gives me an Eigenvalue of 52853 (please see the attachment). I know that in order to obtain the maximum buckling stress I should multiplicate the eigenvalue for the load appied. It means that the value for the buckling stress is 52853 (N/cm2).

Look for free-code UMAT on polymer viscoplasticity model of M.C. Boyce

Submitted by Liu Jinxing on

I just attended USNCCM11, and heard from a presentation that there should be free code for polymer viscoplasticity model from M.C. Boyce.Unfortunately, I googled from half an hour and dowloaded nothing this afternoon. Can anybody give more info ?

Thanks in advance !

Material thermal conductivity in Abaqus

Hi,



I'm trying to simulate the thermal cycling of a cylinder between 0-100
degC, however the model I am trying to replicate does not have a thermal
conductivity assigned. I'm now under the impression that there is no
conductivity as the the material is set at a temperature in the cycle,
does anyone know how to do this?



Many thanks!

Pre-filled Syringe Failure Analysis using Abaqus/Standard

Submitted by SIMULIA on

Failure of pharmaceutical packaging incurs the risk of negative health outcomes and expensive product recalls. Pre-filled syringes represent a growing portion of the drug packaging market. During its working life, a syringe ex-periences stresses that may result in material damage. Specifically, the syringe barrel may develop microcracks that coalesce and propagate, causing the syringe to frac-ture and its contents to lose sterility. Abaqus/Standard offers the technologies necessary to include fracture and failure in the syringe design process.
