Post Buckling of Thin Shells

Submitted by Himayat Ullah on

It is difficult to conduct post buckling analysis of thin shell under axial compression using Arc Length method in Ansys.

The Minimum & Maximum Arc Length radii are chosen by hit & trial.When imperfections are incorporated in the FE model,  some times the solution diverges at a higher critical load that the eigen value  buckling, which should be vice versa in actual. Some times , negative eigen values are also shown.

Is there any easy way to solve this nonlinear stability problem?

What is the meaning of nonhardening Material

Submitted by Y. Wang on

I am getting confused with a definition of nonhardened Material as I read the book Fracture Mechanics written by T.L. Anderson.

I got two understandings and am not sure which one is right.

1)    Material with lower yield strenth, which was not work-hardened.

2)    d(stress)/d(strain) = 0 after yielding.

Runing of input file

Submitted by iitd.mani on

Dear friends,

if i have one input file i will import by file---model---inputfile

the i will see what they did in othermodules, for learning from exapmle problem

but if i have morethan one input file mean main input file and node information and element information both are seaprate input for reduc thesize of file.

how to import via part--model--

so how to merge this more than one input file 

thanks and regards
