How can I find the exess pore water pressure in my dynamic soil model

Submitted by alishafi on

Dear friends

I've prepared a dynamic model of saturated loose sandy soil with abaqus software. Unfortunately, after  running the model, the pore water pressure is didn't raise up. I don't know if any kind of subroutines I must use or anything else. I'm in the final step of  my thesis analysisand I really need your helps.

Sincerely yours

Deformation gradients and atomistic simulations

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

I came upon a recent paper called "Deformation gradients for continuum mechanical analysis of atomistic simulations" by Jonathan A. Zimmerman , Douglas J. Bammann,  and Huajian Gao, International Journal of Solids and Structures 46 (2009) 238–253 where the authors conclude with

Simple beam simulation in Abaqus

Submitted by Emmanuel E. Ufuah on

Hi everyone,

I have modelled a simple beam using continuum elements to assess the mechanical behaviour. The results are quite good since it could predict deflection close to test data. Using ABAQUS general-purpose shell elements, the deflection is quite small compared to test results ie it appears the material has become more stiff. Can any one give me a clue?

Many thanks in advance,

Emmanuel
