How to do a frequency sine sweep in abaqus CAE. I want to get a frequency response curve (mises stress,U) through applying a forcing function on a turbine disc to estimate stresess at resonating conditions.
Several approaches have been used to deal with the complex problem of helical strands in bending. One of them is based on Love’s curved rods theory. It has first been used by Costello in his classical monograph “Theory of Wire Rope”. It has been extended by Sathikh et al. in several papers. A new contribution from this group is a Ph.D. Thesis by D. Gopinath : “Some studies on bending response of the stranded cable under free bending and constrained bending”, Anna University, Chennai (India), October 2013, 121 pages.
Hi, my question is on the use of Riks and other Arc length methods when analysing a system for gross plastic deformation. ASME B&PV code , in its investigation for Gross plastic deformation as a Load at which convergence does not take place. Now, as far as I understand, Newton Raphson method fails at locations of singularity in the stiffness matrix and also at Bifurcation points, it can trace the unstable primary paths. Both these issues can be overcome ( provided the limit point is not too sharp) by Riks and other Arc length methods.

A new paper on the OEC fatigue problem: “Determination of Early Failure Sources and Mechanisms for Al 99.7% and Al-Mg-Si Alloy Bare Conductors Used in Aerial Transmission Lines”, by S. Karabay and E. Feyzullahoglu. Paper has been accepted for publication in March 2014 in the “Engineering Failure Analysis” journal. Abstract can be found on-line: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.engfailanal.2013.12.002
Single strand cable (spiral) bending and OEC (Overhead Electrical Conductor) bending are somewhat similar problems. This is the reason why the following new paper is noteworthy within the context of this blog. It emanates from a Slovak team: S. Kmet, E. Stanova, G. Fedorko, M. Fabian, J. Brodniansky. Title : “Experimental investigation and finite element analysis of a four-layered spiral strand bent over a curved support”. Published in “Engineering Structures”, Vol. 57, December 2013, pp. 475-483.
Hi, I am new to this blog & asking for help from you! If any one know that Ansys has 3D composite element that we can use to simulate PCB with Metal Vias (In-plan Fiber glass & epoxy & Out of Plan Metal Cylinders. Tx
Hello Friends,
I am struggling to correlate FEA results with experimental
results. I work on polymer parts reinforced with glass fibers. I have stress
strain curves for the material till failure. My FEA results are 50% off from
the experimental results. The model is setup correctly.
Bending of cables and, for that matter, of any helical strand system (such as overhead electrical conductors) is a challenging solid mechanics problem, with geometry and multibody frictional contact aspects. As seen in several recent papers, one workable approach is based on Coulomb’s laws of friction. An earlier contribution by Lehanneur (1949), published in French, has generally been ignored. The attached report presents a translation into English (including a presentation) of this most interesting work.
