Prager's Hardening Rule

Submitted by felton1990 on

Hi all

I am currently investigating Prager hardening room which is stated as the simplist linear kinematic hardening rule. I was wondering if anyone has worked with this model and if so if you have managed to identify how to determine the constant used for the back stress equation

 

dα =C * dεp ( this is epsilon dot p which is the equivalent plastic strain)

 

Please can you let me know how to determine the constant C from experimental results?

Submitted by Antonios Kontsos on

A postdoc position is available in the Theoretical & Applied Mechanics Group (http://tamg.mem.drexel.edu/). Of particular interest are expertise in subcontinuum and continuum computational mechanics methods. Available researh projects include both alloy and composite material systems. 

Applicants should submit a full CV, a statement of research and their earliest employment availability to akontsos [at] coe.drexel.edu.

 

 

Composite simulation

Submitted by bagheriasl on

Dear All

 How can I simulate a composite plate with different thickness in ABAQUS?

Suppose that we have a plate wiche is going to be modeled with 5 layers. On the other hand, considered plate has different thickness, i.e. 3 mm one side and other side 6 mm

is there any problem if we model the plate in 3D format and then stacking layers in Composite model in ABAQUS??

which material can be used for modelling a microstucture of metal foams in Abaqus?

Submitted by Rezahes on

I simulate a metal foam microstructure in abaqus but now in material property I dont know which kind of material can I use?

For example I used elasticity and plastic(crushable foam) or elasticity and plastic(isotropic hardening) ?

Journal of Applied Mechanics (JAM) received 526 submitted manuscripts in 2013.  Among them 4 are still in review.  

The average time for the 1st round of review, with the decision to accept, or reject, or revise, is 18 days.  After the 1st round of review, the average time to make the final decision is 34 days, which include both the authors' revision time and 2nd (and more) round(s) of review.

After acceptane the uneditted manuscript appears online with the assigned DOI within 48 hours.
