Share an Excellent Review Paper Published on Advances in Mechanics

Submitted by CSTAM_Journal on

Dear Everyone,

I am so glad coming imechanica to meet everyone of you! I am an editor from Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, our society mainly publish five mechanical journals(three Chinese and two English). I would like to share recently published English articles for whom might be interested in.

Concrete tension damage

Submitted by KHALED GHAEDI on

Hi everyone


Does anyone know about tension stiffening of concrete. Actually I have a problem with getting these values. i have an example of it and I wanna show you to clarify. So, the given information is as follows:


E= 31027 mpa

V= 0.15

Density= 2663 kg/m3

Compressive initial stress= 13 mpa

Compressive ultimate stress= 24.1 mpa

Tensile failure stress= 2.9 mpa


Therefore, for mentioned above "tensile behavior" in terms of dis. is as following: ( concrete damage plasticity )

Create new ( multiple ) parts from existing (single )part in Abaqus

Submitted by sidk1984 on

Hello Everyone,

i am kind of newbie to Abaqus, in learning phase. My question is regarding creating new parts from existing part in abaqus, kind of splitting activity similar to slice feature in ANSYS Designmodeler. As far as my regular activity in Ansys workbench, i require to slice body in designmodeler, to create new volumes, to refine mesh, or to define contacts with different status.have limited access to modeling software, so basically work with simulation software pre processor.

Concrete Damaged PLasticity - Effect of Kc

Submitted by aravindangokul on

I'm trying to develop yield surface of a material for a particular value of hydrostatic stress(since CDP model uses drucker-prager hypothesis).. In user manual, it is given that, for Kc value of 1, i should get a circle, and for Kc value of 0.667, i should get a shape of inverted triangle in deviatoric plane.. But I have tested for 3 values of Kc, 0.667, 0.9 and 1, for all, i'm getting the same inverted triangle in the deviatoric plane.

22., 0.33, 1.16, 0.667, 0. 



common block in abaqus user subroutine vufield

Submitted by PaulK on

Dear friends,

 

I am working on vufiled subroutine for abaqus. I already have a named common block statement in my vfriction subroutine. I need the values from the common block be read in vufield subroutine and passed further / saved to a field variable to be able to plot a contour plot.

Can anyone share his ideas about the coding or have an advice for me?
