Abaqus Fortran Subroutine

Submitted by SavanRGowda on

Hi Everyone,

I have now managed to run the fortran code, but it won't assign the values that I want to assign to the U(1) variable from the TXT file.

In the attached file I have the Fortran file that I am working on, the input file Subroutine1 (save it as .inp file to open in Abaqus) and the pressure file that contains the nodes and the corresponding pressure values which I want to assign through DISP Subroutine. The code below

Cohesive zone parameters - Carbon nanotube Polymer interface

Submitted by Bevan Smith on

Hi everyone

I have a question regarding cohesive zone models/laws/parameters for the interface between carbon nanotubes and polymers.  There seems to be a handful of literature on obtaining tangential (shear) cohesive zone information for this type of interface.  For example, there are a couple of experimental and molecular dynamics simulations I have found that try to obtain the cohesive zone parameters for shear.  The problem is that they are all for nanotube pullout which means that they only obtain the shear information.

2017 ASME Congress invitation-Dynamic failure of advanced materials

Submitted by L. Roy Xu on

Dr. Jun Xu and I organize  one topic on “Dynamic failure of advanced materials (fatigue failure is included also)” for 2017 ASME Congress. Our keynote speakers include a senior program manager of US Office of Naval Research and a distinguished researcher of US Army Research Laboratory. We would invite you (also your colleagues  and group members)  to submit a short abstract before ASME’s deadline March 6.

Hi friends,

I have a shell model in solidworks, I want to full it's volume But don't know that how do it? edgs of this model are discontinuous curve.

please help me. (picture of this model is put below)

Surface roughness evolution during early stages of mechanical cyclic loading

Submitted by ahmed.hussein on

The effect of crystal size and initial dislocation density on surface roughness evolution in FCC single crystals during the early number of cycles of mechanical cyclic loading is investigated using three dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics simulations. Crystals having size less than 2 μm show early development of surface slip localization, while larger ones show a more uniform distribution of surface steps. The surface roughness is found to increase with increasing number of loading cycles with larger crystals showing a high roughening rate compared to smaller crystals.

(ABAQUS CAE) piezoelectric analysis

Submitted by ri3trio on

Hello. 

I'm doing piezoelectric analysis using abaqus CAE v6.12.

Specifically, what I'm doing now is to make the bimorph piezoelectric harvester model using Abaqus CAE

and to validate my model.

My FE model is made based on the model developed by A Erturk and D J Inman in their paper,

'An experimentally validated bimorph cantilever model for piezoelectric energy harvesting from base excitations'

They presented the analytical solution for voltage output and experimental validation is also presented in this paper.
