Submitted by katia bertoldi on
Dear Mechanicians,
 
I would like to draw your attention to the Focus Session **Extreme Mechanics: Elasticity and Deformation** that will  take place at the upcoming March Meeting of the American Physical Society in Dallas, TX (March 21-25, 2011).

Each of the sessions will include an invited talk, followed by a series of contributed talks. This year's invited speakers are:

Abaqus, UMAT, Constitutive law, Powder

Submitted by leo20002000 on

Dear all,

 

I have several questions about how to use existing constitutive law of material to code UMAT in Abaqus. I have carried out experiment for several powder materials, including metal, ceramic, polymer powders. The powder aggregate is compacted in a cylindrical die. After the compaction, relationships between axial stress and axial strain, radial stress and axial strain are obtained. The material under such condition is always treated as elastic plastic material.
