Abaqus deep drawing a square plate

Submitted by IMOTEC on

I am trying to do deep drawing in ABAQUS. While to do this, I'm getting help 

to ABAQUS examples which is name Deep Drawing a Square Box. In my model 

looks everything is ok. But my punch reaction force is very low. In addition 

I did this model experiment in our laboratory. For example my model max 

punch force 4000 N but in experiment real punch force for same material 

nearly 12000 N. My model link is below:

Inelasticity of Materials:An Engineering approch and practical guide by Arun Srinivasa

Hi

Has anyone followed the book Inelasticity of Materials by Arun Srinivasa?

 I was interested in the way he used lumped parameter models to describe material behaviour in Chapter 3. Trying to follow his methodology I wanted to implement it for some experimental results I have.

 However, I have faced an obstacle in trying to work out the hardening modulus of the the material in question. He has worked it out for his example case by curve fitting but I am just not getting the answer.

Nodal stress and strain history output from Abaqus

Submitted by handsome on

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get the history output of
strain and stress tensor components at a node. However after analysis is
finished no such data are saved in the result section. I think Abaqus
only gives the stress and strain for elements and not at nodes. Any help
would be highly appreciated. Please consider that I am a new abaqus
use.

Thank you in advance

How to reduce gap between two rigid bodies in abaqus

Submitted by RajK on

Hi,

 I am having a contact problem between two rigid bodies. How ca i make sure that the two contacting bodies are in contact with each other(without any gap). I am getting two error message

 1. The strain increment is so large that the program will not attempt the plasticity calculation at 1600 points

 2. Displacement increment for contact is too big

Can anyone help me with this. Anykind of suggestions, ideas or comment are most welcome

How to calculate total load in a displacement control analysis in abaqus

Hi,

I'm modeling a pull-out test for FRP debonding. I,m using displacement control and used amplitude to define displacement control boundary condition for example

amp*

0,0

0.15,1.0

 

I used concrete damage plasticity model to define tensile damage of concrete and done abaqus explicit analysis with time period same as for amplitud,  i.e.,0.15
