ABAQUS

PREDICTION FOR DEFORMED PART WITH TIME

Submitted by albanna on

Dear ALL,

Does anyone here has an experience carry out  FE analysis for a part[bracket] which was deformed plastically during cyclic loading test.

I'm now working to resolve this issue when a bracket was fail to withstand the constant loading of 500N during cyclic test. It was reported fail at ~3800 cycles which was less than target.

Overestimated peak strength for cube compression. Abaqus/Explicit

Submitted by MrsTgr on

Hi,

I have done compression test for concrete cube using Concrete damaged plasticity model. I assigned BC in Reference point which I coupled with a surf of the cube.

I have got stress-strain curve that looks nice, but Peak strength is 2-3 times higher than it should be.

Ia have uploaded pic of force-displacement.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks

ABAQUS: Thermal stresses in a rectangular composite plate

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Trying to model a crossply square plate with a sinusoidal temperature loading (uniform along the thickness). I am trying to match the results by Kant et al 2008 and Rohwer et al 2001. I am modeling the compoosite as a 3-D solid elements (making a part and dividing into 4 layers). I always obtain transverse shear stress on the 90 degree layer at 0,b/2,z to be zero.  My results match with that of the paper when I have a single layer of orthotropic material but they dont match when I have 4 layers of equal thickness and an aspect ratio of 5 (length/thickness).

I am planning to analyze my Senior Design Project by statically on Abaqus, since I am just an undergraduate student, I am also planning to do this on my new laptop that have;

8+4 GB DDR3 800MHz RAM

Intel i7 4700HQ 3300 MHz Processor

nVidia GeForce GT 750M Graphics

I got Abaqus 6.14 from my school, I tried to make a simple example to test the program is running with no error, finally I have an error with this message;

Direct Dynamic Analysis Method (DDAM) of the US Navy... Not found in Abaqus 6.14!!

Submitted by Youssef Hafiz on

I worked with Direct Dynamic Analysis Method (DDAM) of the US Navy with Abaqus in 2007, but when I revisit it again in 6.14 version I didn't find it and it is not in the documentation also. Is it removed from Abaqus? and  why? In ship building industry, they use it heavily till now.

Please, find the attached file about the method from a Simulia document in 2007

Case Study: Mechanics of Bacterial Biofilms on Surgical Sutures

Submitted by Simpleware on

Biofilms represent bacterial communities that attach to implanted medical devices such as sutures and catheters. When detached from implants within the body, biofilms can cause chronic infections. This study used Simpleware software to generate image-based microscopic Finite Element (FE) models from confocal laser scanning microscopy scans of real biofilm colonies attached to a surgical suture fragment.

Concrete compression test - Error

Submitted by MrsTgr on

Hello everyone, 

I have modeled compression test on concrete cube in Abaqus/Explicit. For concrete I have used Concrete damaged plasticity model. I have assigned displacement as BC (Smooth amplitude) in Reference Point at the top of the cube, and I have coupled RP with the top of the cube. For concrete cube I have used C3D8R elements. 

For history output I have requested Reaction force in RP and energies for whole model. 

But job won't finish. I get an error:
