Material Parameter Calibration for Johnson Cook

Submitted by priyadd84 on

Hi all ... Is there a way to find/calibrate material parameters for johnson and cook material model using experimental data in Abaqus? .. As far as i know abaqus has something called as data editor with which Hyperelastic materials models can be calibrated with experimental results. If not is there any other way arround to do calibration of material parameter with abaqus.

Geometric nonlinearity

Submitted by sagar_009 on

hi all,

How to decide the geometric nonlinearity?.

i.e If i consider a sturcutre for example-fishing rod or wind turbine blade, how to decide that the structure is geometrically nonlinear.

Does it requires lots of calculations or by experimentation... For example by just observing the structure, is it possible to decide?

What are the reasons to consider the geometric nonliearities.

Regards

Correct Average of Stress/Strain Microfields

Submitted by adz on
This is a general micromechanic question.

Suppose we have a microstructured 2-phases material with random inclusions (or a porous material with random pores) and we make a real tensile test (monoaxial loading in the vertical direction of a specimen with nominal length L). We want to model such tensile test with FEM (for instance with Abaqus) like in this pic:
 
 
 
 

Solving nonlinear equilibrium problem

Hi!

I am trying to solve (for equilibrium points) a geometrically nonlinear problem of the form

f(u) = F

where u is the displacement and F is the load. At first I tried the plain

Newton method, with, perhaps obviously, limited success. I then tried to use

linesearch and trustregion strategies to improve the situation. Eventually, however,

I realized that I needed to use some form of continuation method. Though the most

commonly used methods in mechanics seems to be based on gradually increasing the

PhD scholarship in Micro Mechanical Damage Tolerance Improvements of Composites

Submitted by Alan Wervick on

A PhD scholarship is available at DTU Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark in the field of micro mechanical modelling of composite materials for wind turbine blades. The department has well-established research activities within material modelling and composite mechanics.
