Hi friends,

I am using ABAQUS to model a O-Cell load test for deep pile foundation. I would like to applied the load which gradually increases with time (in second). But, if I apply the load step by step then it may take much time to input the data. I think we can use AMPLITUDE toolset in ABAQUS to define the incresing load (ex.), but I don't know how to apply the load by using AMPLITUDE toolset.

Example I have:

Time(sec) --- Load (kN)

1--- 100

15 ----500

30----1000

etc..

Dear all,

          I did a three point bending test on a brittle rod. I observed an oblique fracture (slant approx 45 degrees). It can be an easy conclusion that this 45 deg crack is due to shear failure. But i have the following questions

1. Can a shear band  occur in  bending mode? as in literature very frequently shear bands are reported in pure tension and compression.

Dear All,

I modelled a beam with a hole and used cohesive elements on the possible crack plane.

When I run the model in 2D, it works very well and I can get the results pretty good.

Why running the same model in 3D (making 3D model and running it) has caused me a headach for a long time and I can not

get the results?

Any idea highly appreciated,

Thanks,

i am simulating a uniaxial test for coal specimen using Mohr-Coloumb plasticity, there is a friction between the coal sample and the platens, the coal behavior is stain sotening.

i want to know how many points should i use in the hardening table of the mohr-coloumb plasticiy to get a good reults?

 i used 3 points:- the first one is the yield stress and the associated plastic stain, the second one the peak stress and the associated plastic strain the third one is the post peak stress and the assoiacted plastic strain. is that right?

Dear Colleagues,

 I need the PDF version of the following book can any one send me

Theory Of Thermal Stresses by Prof. Bruno A. Boley
