Ductile Damage criterion in ABAQUS

Submitted by Mariona Bosch on

Hello ,

 

 I´m working in my thesis with abaqus only since 4 months, so I´m quite
new. I have to simulate the welding of two sheets with electromagnetic
pulse process. Under these kind of processes the material is load under
high values of velocity and deformations. Taking into account these
conditions I have chosen three different flow plasticity models:

-Isotropic plasticity model without strain rate with johnson cook damage ductile criterion.

-Johnson Cook  plasticity model with johnson cook rate dependance with johnson cook damage ductile criterion.

-Johnson Cook plasticity model with johnson cook rate dependance.

The third one is not showing the wavy interface in the bond between
both materials which is so typical  of these kind of processes. The
second one is not  neither showing it. The first one is the only one
that is giving "correct" results.

I don´t understand why I have to use a damage ductile criterion to
see these wavy interface as, under the conditions that I´m working,
sheets are just welded, not fractured (the damage energy is 0). I
neither understand why I can´t see this wavy interface using Johnson
cook and I can see it  with isotropic, if J-C is the closer model to
reality. I think that maybe the problem can be in the different
calculations of the equivalent plastic strain because when I used
johnson cook the PEEQ is almost zero around the welded zone. 

I would be really glad if somebody could help me.

Thanks,

 

Hello again,

Maybe my explnation was too long and it was not well focus in the main question. My question is:

Why I have to used a damage failure criterion as a plasticity model to see this wavy interface if my model is not reaching the fracture, its just getting welded?

Thanks again,

I am doing my m.tech project on fracture mechanics..

I have to model orthotropic plate containing holes frm which 2cracks are emanating radially frm each hole.

my problem is i have to apply out of plane loading like bending moment and torsion.

So can any pls suggest for following problems

1.which element is suitable for above problem..?

2.how to model multiple cracks in ANSYS..?

3.How to apply moments over a plate..?

If u give suggestions it will be great helpful to me..

thanks in advance...
