How to apply a prestressing force to strands in abaqus?
i modeled a reinforced concrete beam with a t cross-section and after loading it till 80% of its failure load, i repaired it by using post-tensioned concrete jacket.
i have two questions:
1-how to apply the prestressing force to the strands ?
2-i made interaction between surfaces of the main beam and the jacket, this interaction is tangantial and normal only, is it right or i must make cohessive also ?
Single Element Test(boundary conditions)
Dear All,
I want to do some single element tests for a plane stress quadratic element with bi-linear shape functions(like the plane 42 element in ANSYS).
What I am not sure about is what boundary conditions should be applied to the single element in this case. I also want to apply a prescribed displacement as the loading. (I would like to first try to do these single element simulations in Ansys and then with my own developed codes, hopefully the results will conform, as sort of a basic validation of my own developed code)

PhD studentship on Validation of crystal plasticity models in 3D policrystals at Portsmouth University (UK)
Fatigue life prediction in the aerospace components relies on fracture mechanics for relatively long cracks (>1mm). Nevertheless, most of the fatigue life is spent while the crack is relatively short (<1mm). However life of short cracks is far from well understood leading engineers to apply over conservative safety factors which involves environmental and economic losses. The material microstructure is responsible for the large life uncertainty in short cracks.

Development and application of a microstructure-based approach to characterize and model failure initiation in DP steels using XFEM
We develop a microstructure-based model to characterize and model failure initiation in DP steels using an extended finite element method (XFEM) to simulate martensite cracking on the mesoscale combined with representative volume element (RVE) modeling. A mini tensile test with digital image correlation (DIC) analysis is linked to local SEM analysis to identify the local strain at which failure is initiated.
