Nonlinear Programming in Matlab or Python

Submitted by Muhammad Sardar Khan on

Please someone can guide me starting programming hints and guidance in nonlinear solid and structure. Please mention me some available computer code regarding solved example problem e.g. a computer program of elasto-plastic analysis of plane stress problem using matlab or any other language. I am following Klaus Jurgen Bathe Book.

Potential surface and yield surface

Submitted by shivanirani on

Hello,

Would you please tell me the basic difference between potential plastic surface and yield surface with a physical meaning, if possible. I know that if both the surfaces match, then it is associated flow-rule, otherwise it is a non-associative flow rule.

I know that this is a very basic question, but I am facing difficulty in completely understanding it.

 

Thanks in advance.

Abaqus non linear viscoelasticity and variable strain rates.

Submitted by Shouvik on

Hi ,

 

I am using abaqus to model a non linear viscoelastic polymer. I have input my relaxation test data as shear data for viscoelastic properties. I have added hyperelastic properties with uniaxial stress strain data as well.
However I find that the results of output stress strain only match for a constant strain rate.
Would it be possible to have the strain rate dependence reflect on the output.I would like to see the stress strain plot changing with changes in the strain rate.
