How to deal with negetive plastic strain increment in FEA in an elasto - plastic problem

Submitted by Suman.Guha on

In case of elasto-plastic problem it is mentioned that unloading of an integration point should be started along the elastic moduli when the solution gives a negetive increment of the plastic strain at the integration point. If anyone could elaborate it a little more, it will be really helpful.

Hello everyone:

 recently i encountered a problem when using abaqus .i wanna define shear distributed load along a surface,

the magnitude of a single point is related with  its velocity.but it looks that abaqus does not support this kind

of load even in VDOLAD .how can i do to realize it?

thks a lot .

My research area is modeling of creep in MMC. I am trying to use Abaqus for this purpose but I am unable to find any tutorial that can provide me some help that how to use creep module provided in Abaqus. Will any body can help me by providing some tutorial related to that topic. It will be highly apprecioated.

 

 

macro

Submitted by sailenns on

hello all,

Do the log file work as macro in ANSYS?

I am trying to create a macro for my simulation so that i can
run, and save result for different load conditions. Is this possible in
ANSYS? If yes how can i do it? I will be greatful for your reply.

 Thank you,

Sailen

modelling cyclic plasticity in abaqus

Submitted by ranababu on

 

I have to model cyclic plasticity in ABAQUS. The method to use ( this is as per ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code) involves only a single loading ( rather the load range has o be applied) and using a stabilized cyclic stress strain data expresssed in Ramberg Osgood format. The parameters for Ramberg Osgood are specified in the equation to be used fpr stabilized cyclic stress strain curve.

 Implementing the same in ABAQUS, gives me the following possibilities :

 

Problem with fortran code for solving large strain 2D elastic problem by FEM using Updated Lagrangian Framework

Submitted by Suman.Guha on

I am using my own fortran code to solve a large strain 2D elastic problem using FEM in Updated Lagrangian framework and I am using incremental formulation. It works well for 2D pull of a square block with 2 elements and I've compared the results with a commercial FEA package. But while solving bending of a cantilever beam the results starts to blow up and the elements distort abruptly after certain time step. This happens only when the load or the displacement given at the free end of the beam is large otherwise it works fine.

HI,

How do i find the bearing stifness of a ball bearing, theoriticaly.. is there any advanced software for finding bearing stiffness

four node quad element with one quadrature point

Submitted by phunguyen on

Hello all,



Could anyone help me with the four node quadrilateral element with one quadrature point for nonlinear implicit solid mechanics problem? To be more precise, I would like to know

  (1) the form of the internal force vector and

  (2) the form of the tangent matrix



of this special element.



[Newton-Raphson Iteration in Transient Thermal Analysis

Submitted by shrimad on
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

Hi,



I have been quite confused about this for sometime now. It
has not been mentioned clearly in the books/references that I have
looked into.



In transient thermal analysis with implicit scheme
or the Crank Nicolson scheme, are there Newton Raphson iterations based
on the residual vector in every time-step?







Thanks,

Shriram
