Modelling Ice deformation and fracture in Abaqus

Submitted by Daniel Prawica on

Hello Abaqus Users,

I am new to Abaqus: I am trying to model formation and propagation of fractures in glacial ice (note: ice deformation mainly by plastic flow). I was wondering if anyone has modeled ice as a material exhibiting a nonlinear behavior, or possibly have a user subroutine for ice that I could use. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello:

 My name is Eric and I am working on my MS thesis project.  I have been tasked with analyzing a reinforced concrete column specimen in Abaqus and comparing the analysis results with the experimental measurements.  The column is subjected to cyclic lateral loading. 

How to ask a question on iMechanica

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

I've mostly had quite helpful responses from iMechanica participants whenever I've asked questions on this forum.  However, I've noticed that questions from several posters have gone unanswered.  I feel that there are two main reasons for that lack of response:

1) The questioner has not provided an adequate details by which they can be identified.  I generally don't like responding to a question posed by someone called xyz1983.
