ABAQUS - Problem concerning "concrete damaged plasticity" model

Submitted by montero on Fri, 07/17/2009 - 10:05

Hi all,

I'm trying to solve a frame structure in ABAQUS. I'm using 3D beam elements (B31) so that shear and bending stresses may appear. This is ok for an elastic analysis, but I also want to perform a failure analysis of this frame. Therefore, I'm trying to use the "concrete damaged plasticity" material in ABAQUS. But I've read in the manual I can't use B31 elements with this material.

Does anyone know how to combine the "concrete damaged plasticity" material in a 3D beam analysis? Any other suggestions?

education

Hi dear members

I am a student doing my Masters in Automotive Engineering at RWTH Aachen and am interested in Structural mechanics. I have done a basic course on mechanics of composite materials and am decently conversant with mechanics of composite laminae. However I am asked to do this mini project where in I am asked to search for a Material model on LS Dyna which is suitable for simulating the crash loading on a 3D braided carbon FRP.

Material selection for vibration damping

Submitted by pirexengaer on Tue, 07/14/2009 - 19:36

Hi everyone,

I'm searching some solution to absorb vibration. I'm trying to find materials and their properties to compare between them and chose one to design a vibration damper. Their application will be on the base of an avionics enclosure wich is onboard of a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle).
