Dear all,
Where can we find the datum of plastc and damage evolution in uniaxial case for concrete of some specfic strength? It seems that datum associated with plasticity or damage can not be found in concrete code. But when you use the damaged plasticity model integrated in ABAQUS, these datum are indispensible.
I know this question is a not new one and it has been posted before. But these posts seems not completely answer this question. I tested for77 and for90 codes for isotropic elasticity respectively. The analysis based on for77 codes runs successfully and the for90 codes can be compiled successfully. However, the analysis based on for90 codes shows the following warning:
URGENT!

hi ,
i am working with concrete beam in ansys, i what to konw how to now its failure manner??? ....how to know whether it is shear or flexural or crushing failure??.....and what is the difference between reaching 0.003 for the strain in concrete and not reaching it ???......what is the difference between getting a message said that we have a rigid body motion ......and a message said we have unconvergence solution???.......i have been struggling to find out the answer but i did get no thing yet ....
thanks

My company urgently needs to identify an individual or organization who can
fabricate a couple of hundred small Dielectric Elastomer transducers for an
R&D project. The work could be done under contract. We have
started making our own but it is becoming clear there is a learning curve plus
much trial and error and we are short on time.
If you think you might be able to make them or if you can suggest
