                         Accurate Implicit Time Integration in Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis

Using an effective time marching procedure is an important aspect in the implicit finite element analysis

of nonlinear dynamic problems. Here, we demonstrate some of the difficulties that can arise through an

example involving contact chatter and fluid structure interaction:

Call for papers for ICoBT 2011 - deadline 15 April

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

Themes covered include

  • orthopaedic surgery
  • dentistry
  • biomechanics
  • biomaterials
  • cosmetic chemistry
  • biophysics
  • biomimetics

The topic of research must include a biological surface as part of the interface (eg articular cartilage, skin), have a direct impact on biological function (eg prosthetic joints, dental implants), or involve the implementation of natural lubrication in man-made systems (biomimetics).

Abaqus/explicit

Submitted by mohanraj1987 on

please tell if any body knows Step by Step procedure how to execute the problem described below....

My project is "Study on the behaviour of FRP strengthened concrete structures subject to cyclic load".

concrete 1500 x 100 x 200

CFRP: 460 x 50

Adhesieve: epoxy(sikadur 30): 460 x 50 x 0.01

Steel: 1500mm, 4mm radius, circular profile.

I have to do the following Steps using Abaqus/explicit

1. Modelling

2. Material Property

3. Assigning Sections

4. Defining Step

Hi Frns,

            I'm doing project entitled, " Study on the behaviour of CFRP strengthened concrete structures subject to cyclic loading" both experimental and analytical part using Abaqus. ( All dimensions are in terms of SI units[N,mm,s])

                             concrete dimensions: 1500 x 100 x 200 (L x B x D), M40 grade,
