Cohesive Zone Model and XFEM

Submitted by Prashanthi on

Hello all,

I am trying to model crack propagation in ABAQUS to simulate four point beam bending test. I am using 3D model. I am using XFEM for propagating the crack. I am not getting the required output parameters ( J-integral and SIF ), instead i am getting only PHILSM and PSILSM. I dont know how to extract the required parameters from these two values. For modelling a crack propagation, whether CZM is reliable or XFEM is reliable??. What are the disadvantages of CZM over XFEM( other than predefined crack path ). Any suggestions will be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hyperelastic compressible experiment

compressible incompressible

Dear All,

 

I got confused on the hyperelastic experiment that the uniaxial, equibiaxial, and planar test are based on the material is incompressible. What if the material is compressible, are the experiment the same as incompressible material? Except for the volumetric mode, what is the different between incompressible and compressible material experiment? Thanks!

 

Regards,

Bob
