COMPOSITE MATERIAL DISPALY IN ABAQUS

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Hello!

I have a question!

Now i`m trying to made a composite material display for flexible!

So first i want to made a basic display model consisted of 5 layers.

And want to made a cohesive zone between each layer. After that want to see a bending process!

Then i wonder what is mean DAMAGE INITIATION and DAMAGE EVOLUTION.

Is that up to material properties or i have to designated?

Plz recommend it! Im the first time user ..!

Thank you!

Need to know information about Hermite cubics & shape function

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?

Regarding my research work, I need to know about hermite cubics in Fem. Can any one suggest a book regarding this?

Element type for modeling shear banding in 3D

Submitted by hanglin ye on

Dear all,

As I am modeling shear banding phenomena in 3D, I am confused on what element type I should adopt, since there are many versions in literature. In 2D simulation, some author suggests using quadrilaterals consists of 4 cross-triangular elements, while some other use 9 node quadrilaterals. In 3D, some author use 20 noded hexahedral while some other use 8 node hexahedral with 1 integration point.

 

Coordinate system in Abaqus data file (*.dat)

Dear all,

I have a question which seems quite simple but has troubled me for quite some time: 

I have a composite tube modeled using layered solid elements C3D8, and I want to output radial, circumferential, and axial stress components averaged at preselected nodes (defined as a node set) in Abaqus data file (*.dat). Nevertheless, I would like to have those stress components expressed in a cylindrical coordinate system, rather than in local material coordinate system. I would appreciate it a lot if anyone knows whether it is possible to do so. Thanks.
