Is it possible to open beverage packages virtually? -2021

Submitted by SIMULIA on

This paper show possible selections of material models in conjunction with material damage models, adequately describing thin polymer films behaviour.

Comparison between the physical test and the virtual test, exerted to fracture Mode I – Centre Cracked Tension, showed a good correlation for the chosen modeling technique.

Measuring the elastic modulus of microgels using microdrops

Submitted by Lihua Jin on

Two microgel particles are encapsulated in a microdrop having a spherical diameter smaller than the

sum of the diameters of the microgels; this causes the microgels to be squeezed together by the oil–water

interface of the drop, in turn, making the drop ellipsoidal in shape. By modeling the force applied to the

microgels by the drop and equating this to the Hertz contact force of their deformation, we are able to

estimate their elastic modulus. By varying the surface tension and shape of the drops, we are able to

Simulation of the Quasi-static Crushing of a Fabric Composite Plate - 2011

Submitted by SIMULIA on
Simulation of the Quasi-static Crushing of a Fabric Composite Plate is a methodology for modeling the crushing behavior of composite structures using
Abaqus/Explicit. Very good quantitative and qualitative agreement between the
numerical results and experimental data is shown, demonstrating the utility of
Abaqus/Explicit for assessing the crashworthiness of composite structures and
reducing the amount of costly experimental testing.

Isight Optimization of Material Parameters used in the Abaqus Worldwide Side Impact Dummy - 2012

Submitted by SIMULIA on
An automated Isight optimization workflow for the calibration of material
parameters is presented. Using component models from the Abaqus Worldwide Side
Impact Dummy (WorldSID) we will validate one of the calibrated material
parameters by comparing the response of several dummy sub-assemblies with
experimental data.

Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis of a Prosthetic Aortic Valve using Abaqus/Explicit Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics - 2012

Submitted by SIMULIA on
The smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) analysis method in Abaqus/Explicit
overcomes this difficulty. In this Technology Brief, the SPH
technique will be used to determine the FSI response of a generic prosthetic
heart valve.

Abaqus/Standard Coupled Simulation of Thermally Assisted Gravity Drainage of an Oil Sand Formation - 2012

Submitted by SIMULIA on

Abaqus/Standard provides an analysis capability that allows for coupling between
heat transfer, pore fluid flow, and displacement. We demonstrate how this capability can be used to simulate the thermally
assisted gravity drainage of an oil sand formation.

Two-Pass Rolling Simulation - 2012

Submitted by SIMULIA on

Hot rolling is a basic metal forming technique that is used to transform
preformed shapes into final products or forms that are suitable for further
processing.  The important aspects of this manufacturing operation are the
elongation and spread of the material during the rolling process.
