LOW-CYCLE FATIGUE CRACK PROPAGATION IN ABAQUS USING XFEM

Submitted by Alberto.Garcia… on

 

Hi all,

 I´m traying to simulate a low-cycle fatigue crack growth in Abaqus 6.9 using xfem. My problem is to add the low cycle method to the xfem solution. 

I believe that the only current option for this would be to manually
create the loading curve and to do the analysis by a brute force
method but i may not be correct in this assumption however.

Please could someone explain a brief method.

i appreciate in advance.

 

 

Using beam3 element and plane82 element in ANSYS to analyse the curved beam bistable mechanism

Submitted by phamhuytuan on

I did the analysis for the snap-through of curve beam (this is a bistable mechanism) and using both "beam3 element" and "plane82 element" to find the force-displacement. However the obtained f-d curves are different between these two element.

May anyone give me some suggestions to deal with my problem ?  

Thank you !

Welcome to new background of micromechanics

Submitted by Valeriy Buryachenko on

Dear Colleagues,

 I am please to let you know about the birth of a new background of micromechanics defining a new field of micromechanics called computational analytical micromechanics (CAM). It offers opportunities for a fundamental jump in multiscale research (see the abstract attached, where avalable electronic publications are indicated and encouraged for reading). However, these opportunities can be realized only in the case of joint efforts of both computational micromechanic's society and the analyticalone. I would be happy if CAM piques your attention.
