We will soon be looking for a tandem of 2 faculty members: one senior, with management, leadership and funding track-record, another more junior (assistant/associate professor level) to work in tandem with the first. Adverts should come out soon, but feel free to get in touch with me should you require more information. Stéphane - stephane dot bordas at alum dot northwestern dot edu

Cutting

Hello every body,

I am working on the simulation of cutting for aluminium alloy (A2024-T351) in abaqus, i use Johnson cook model

I want to introduce several critical values of damage (D1=0.1and D2=0.1,0.5,0.7), how can i do that in abaqus CAE

IF anyone would please help me

Piezoelectric Actuator Position Constraint

Submitted by mhdiab on Sat, 06/01/2013 - 01:34

ABAQUS/CAE

Hey,

I am trying to mount a piezoelectric actuator(PZT) on a plate. The PZT is rectangular and I have created a tie constraint between a surface on the bar and one of the PZT's surfaces. How do I put the PZT at a certain location on the bar in the assembly? I am assigning a coincident point position constraint between a point on the bar and a point on the PZT, is that sufficient? Thank you.

Regards.

UEL

Submitted by jayendiran on Fri, 05/31/2013 - 11:35

I have written a UEL subroutine in fortran for 3D structural element, If i give displacement in Z direction i am able to get the reaction force. if i give external load in -Z direction and +Z is constrained, i am able to get the displcement in -Z direction but it shows the reaction force as zero in +Z surface.Please help me in tis regard how to give load in abaqus input file

Thanks

material model for glass machining

Submitted by farzad pashmforoush on Fri, 05/31/2013 - 07:57

software

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
