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.

Nice and low-cost introductory texts

Submitted by Konstantin Volokh on

There are two very nice companion texts on continuum mechanics and nonlinear elasticity printed by Dover recently: "Continuum mechanics" by Spencer and "An introduction to the theory of elasticity" by Atkin and Fox. Great and fairly affordable reading!

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

Submitted by Rahul Katu on

Hi friends i am new user and 1 year experienced guy in CAE field in  Pune, India.

    i wants some tips/notes in Linear Static Analysis & non Linear analysis.

 Tips/ Notes about softwares like MSc nastran, Abaqus will be useful for me. So plz tell me how can i obtain them.
