Hello everybody,
I am simulating contact problem . Two sutfaces are in contact. One of them is anamytial surface. My slave surface doesn't deforms properly, master surface goes through my slave surface. Please help me with advice, which properties should i put for interaction? What should be the reason of such mistake.
Best regards
ABAgirl

Dear All,
A section of a beam with hole is subjected to the shear and moment. Assuming that we ignore the moment in the section of the beam, is there any formulation for obtaining the stress concentration due to shear only. I have attached a picture of the problem.
I appreciate your professional comment.
Thank you,
Manooir
Our GM/UM Advanced Battery Coalition at the department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan is recruiting highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researchers to study in the general field of advanced Li-ion batteries and their fading mechanisms. The candidate should hold a doctor degree in Mechanics, Materials, Chemistry, Physics, or a relevant discipline. Past experience with finite element analysis, atomistic simulations, and programming is preferred.
Two talks tomorrow:
1. Meso-Origami: Folding and Assembly of Single and Multilayer Graphene Sheets
2. Hierarchical Mechanics of Spider Silk, from Molecules to the Web
Hello everybody,
I want to simulate a tensile test using "damage for ductile metals" and "ductile damage". ABAQUS requires three parameters:
-Equivalent fracture strain at damage initiation (a)
-stress-triaxiality (b)
-strain rate (c)
I have already seen Abaqus analysis user's manual (23.2.2), but there's no example.
Currently, I defined a 3D solid deformable and an elastic and plastic behavior. I do not understand how to select a first set of parameters for the "ductile damage".
** MATERIALS
When I learned chemistry in college, the subject was presented to me with equations of chemical reactions. It took me some time to realize a couple of simple points: reactants need to meet to produce a product, and compounds take space.
The connection between chemistry and mechanics is made vivid to me in recent years in studying lithium batteries. As an example, here is a recent paper when chemistry is linked with plasticity, mass transport, and fracture—essential ingredients of solid mechanics.
This is an interesting article: Fraud, the h-index and Pasternak. How do we evaluate ourselves and others, especially those not in our own fields? We may not have to find an answer as an individual researcher, but the univeristy adminstrators have to.
Hi,
I managed to find a way to debug UMAT step by step. I tested it on ABAQUS 6.9 using intel fortran 11.0 which is integrated with Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 running on Win 7/x64. The process is the same for other versions and other user subroutines (The same process should also work in linux, but with different debugger).
