Gurson's PhD thesis report

Submitted by Marieme Imene … on

Greetings,

As I was struggling for several months to find Gurson's PhD thesis report and as I received many emails from people who were also not finding this reference and asking for help, let me share a scan of the thesis report that I managed to get thanks to a kind and helpfull professor.

Best,

Abaqus on Windows 8

Submitted by pramudiyanto on

hi,

I'm a newbie in Abaqus, but I think I have a great passion to explore this software a bit deeper. One problem is coming when I try to install Abaqus 6.11-2 on Windows 8 64bit operating system. It stuck on the pre-installation system check, and when I click on Next, the installation has topped. Has anyone got the same problem like these? Need a little help to solve this problem. Thank you

2D Mooney Rivlin Strain Energy Function

Submitted by shah7 on

Hi,

I want to model a tissue using the Mooney Rivlin strain energy function. However, I am currently working in 2D (plane stress or plane strain would do). I only found the 3D material model for the strain energy density function online. What modifications should I make for converting it to 2d? I read that there is only 1 parameter required for the 2D case as opposed to the 3D case. What is the equation of this function? Is there any relation between the parameter C10 and C01 of the 3D case, and C1 of the 2D case for the same material?
