Abaqus contact problem

Submitted by ravi_gutti on

Hello all...,

                 I want to know the method of getting convergence when a Soft body and a Stiff body is in contact and a large force is acting normal to the contact interface. I am actually facing this problem often.

Anybody pls help...

ansys mechanical apdl on non linear material model

Submitted by preet on

hi....i m working on ansys(mehanical apdl).....here i m doing non linear material model analysis of a two panel slab....i have chosen material model 1 as multilinear elastic and entered the graph in that and took material no.2 for steel with EX=2E8,PR=.33....units are in SI.....NOW I m getting the warning as"For material 1 at temperature 0 has a tangent slope of its stress strain curve <75000> greater than EX <6.0134717-154>..............can anyone suggest some solution for this....

Complex interplay of nonlinear processes in dielectric elastomers.

Submitted by Jian ZHU on

A combination of experiment and theory shows that dielectric elastomers exhibit complex interplay of nonlinear processes. Membranes of a dielectric elastomer are prepared in various states of prestretches by using rigid clamps and mechanical forces.
