Volume integration in mehsless methods

Submitted by Mike W. Long on

I use the meshless Galerkin method for 3D simulation of plate movement. This method requires the volume integration over a test domain. Could somebody help me with the volume integration? I wonder if there are standard or open source algorithms that can be used for this problem.

I would appriciate any help.

operational modal analysis references bibliographical

Submitted by kevin77 on

Hello iMechanica comunity,

I've just wondering if someone know some good references to introduce me in the world of operational modal analysis experimental techniques. There are books or reviewing articles?

Any idea will be welcomed.

Thanks in advance

 

 

Anand model for adhesives

Submitted by vibhash on

Hi,

I have to model adhesive with viscoplastic beahviour in Ansys. But before that, I need to find its parameters through experiments.

Do you think that Anand model can be successfully applied for adhesives? Or anyone can suggest some better model?

I can find ample of litearture for solder alloys where Anand model has been validated well but there are very few literatures available for constitutive relation for adhesives.

I will really appreciate if someone can provide me the link to good references regarding this.

 

Thanks

Help modeling a viscoelastic material in Abaqus

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

Hello,

I'm trying to model indentation of a viscoelastic material in Abaqus.

I have (1) stress-relaxation curves for the material and (2) force-displacement curves for the material from a real indentation experiment.

From this I can readily calculate the elastic modulus (infinite) and the elastic modulus (instantaneous) for the material.

I'd like to fit a Prony series based on this data that I can enter into Abaqus to model the material.

How would I go about fitting the Prony series from the force-displacement and stress-relaxation curves?

Problem with my Abaqus Double Layer Composite Identation Simulation

Hi everyone,

 

I currently using Abaqus/CAE 6.8. I currently doing my final year
project about indentation test on double layer composite material. The
top layer of the material is Pasta (elastic) and bottom layer is Gel
(hyperelastic). I manage to simulate the model and completed the
process. The stress of the Gel does not change as it undergoes
deformation. As shown in the clip i attached. Any idea to solve this
problem? Any suggestion is welcomed.. Thanks

The following is taken from the book Concepts and applications of Finite element methods by Cook, Malkus and Plesha.

 For bifurcation buckling, we have the following eigenvalue problem:

(K+Lambda Ksigma)delta d= 0 

Prestressed modal analysis

Submitted by Hamid.antar on

Dear all,

I am trying to perform a prestresssed modal analysis on a beam , but the results are the same as the modal analysis of the beam without the static force.

Idid static analysis with prestress ON ,EXIT solution , reopen solution, then modal analysis with prestress ON.

Please could anyone help me or show me the right way to do prestressed modal analysis .

Regards,

Antar

Abaqus Damaged Plasticity- problem with Strain Rate

Submitted by Margi on

Hi All,

I am using Abaqus explicit to simulate a simple compression test on a concrete cube. The cube's bottom face is fixed, and the compression is given by giving a displacement to the top face. In order to simulate concrete material I'm using the damaged plasticity model.
