<p>Please join us at the Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering and Biotransport Conference (SB3C2015), to be held at beautiful Snowbird Utah, July 17-20, 2015 (http://www.snowbird.com). The theme of the conference this year is <strong> Synergy of Modeling and Experiments in Biomechanics, Bioengineering and Biotransport </strong>.
A short overview of micromechanical models of hierarchical materials (hybrid composites, biomaterials, fractal materials, etc.) is given. Several examples of the modeling of strength and damage in hierarchical materials are summarized, among them, 3D FE model of hybrid composites with nanoengineered matrix, fiber bundle model of UD composites with hierarchically clustered fibers and 3D multilevel model of wood considered as a gradient, cellular material with layered composite cell walls.
Does anybody know the underlying algorithm for the contact pressure in ABAQUS. Is the contact pressure calculated from the stresses?
Many thanks in advance!
Hi,
Model:
I am modeling a simple pull out test, 30 inch diameter by 20 in tall concrete cyclinder, with a 25 inch steel rebar embedded 5 inch into the concrete cylinder. The goal is to see what is the stresses of the embeded region for both the concrete and steel rebar. Ultimately, I would try to incorporate the damage concrete plastic model, but that is after I figure this out.
Constraints:
I am modelling RCC with a VUMAT. The subroutine is ok with 3D solid, shell or 2D plane stress, but when I use 3D shell and include Rebar it doesn't run.
I can run it with reinforcement in Solid or plane stress element.
Can any one guide me where I am making the mistake.
Does any one have the tutorial for Modelling of Shape Memory Alloy composite in Abaqus/MSC marc
The aim of this Journal Club is to provide a forum for discussing the role of applied mechanics in bioelectrochemical systems such as microbial fuel cells, and the potential of computational mechanics during upscaling of those systems.
Can a torque induce longitudinal motion of an elastic rod?
