Ice failure simulation

Submitted by santhosh_ajayy on

Hi,

  I want to simulate Ice failure simulation in abaqus. In my problem, ice is deposited between 2 components.

  While I am trying to move one compoents, the ice is restricting the movement of the components. Now I want to find out the force at which the ice starts to failure .

  any methods are available n abaqus., Plz let me know if any body knows abt this kind of simulation.

 

Thanks in advance

Is anyone familiar with deriving shape functions for different beam end conditions?

Submitted by santhosh_ajayy on

I am doing my research in nonlinear vibration of beams. In that research, I have to derive the shape function for different end conditions of the beam. Regarding this,I need some ideas. Are there books I can reference?

Thank you for your help.

I would like to use condensation to calculate the normal modes of
a structure. These grids are connected to the structure through RBE3 (master
grid). Let me know if there's a way to use the master grids of RBE3 elements in
the A-SET?

Abaqus: Composite delamination with cohesive elements

Submitted by Maria Pia on
 
Hello,
I have to do a FEA regarding impact damage and delamination propagation in a CFRP specimen.
I have to do this using cohesive element in order to see the propagation of the delamination front in the material.
My problem is that I don't know how to do this in Abaqus.
I'll better explain: I can use this software but is the first time approching composite behavior and I really don't know how to model that.

Viscoelastic & Viscoplastic Behaviour of flex printed circuit boards under bending loads

Submitted by Nishant Kumar on

Hello,

I am currently working on my M.Sc Thesis project of fatigue lifcycle of Flex printed circuit boards which is composite material of Polymer & Metal.Want some help who has worked on this topic which deals with Viscoelastic & Plastic behaviour of materials under action of pure bending loads.Help & Guidance would be appreciated.Need to come up with an equation which has stress & strain relating to lifecycle of Flex printed circuit boards.

Awaiting your reply,

 

Regards,

Nishant

I heard a sound in my email Inbox. It was from the editor-in-chief of Elsevier's Engineering Failure Analysis journal. I opened the email and read that my paper was accepted to be published under some conditions for revisions per peer reviewer's comments.
