Elasto-plastic theory - ABAQUS
Hello,
I have started to study the plasticity theory few months ago. I'm trying to do one exercise in plane strain of one elasto-plastic material in ABAQUS and manually.
When the load is small, the material has just deformed elasticly and the total and elastic strain in z-direction (E33 and EE33) are zero (like say the theory of plane strain).

Hi, I am using Abaqus.
Need to model simple beam-column connection (with beam elements). Connection should allow rotation but not translation. I am new to Abaqus so please help.
Tried connector section, defined it, but I dont know how to use/apply it.
modeling of Porous medium and its solution methods in ABAQUS?
Hi all,
I am krishna working on FE knee joint modeling in ABAQUS. I am beginner to Abaqus
As i have read from the journal papers, I understood that cartilage and meniscus are poroelastic (porous medium).
My axisymmetric model consists of following.
1. Cartilage is modelled with CAX4PH (axisymmetric pore pressure elements)
2. Meniscus is also with the same elements
3.Tibial bone with CAX4 elements.
Since
contact beween two deformable bodies create computational difficulties,
When and where the stress objective rates are used in ABAQUS software?
Hi everyone,
I have a question about the objectivity tensor in ABAQUS software. Below is my question.
X-FEM implementation in Abaqus
Dear all,
Just in case it is of interest to some of you, we provide links to three postprints related to our Abaqus implementation of the X-FEM. The latest is an "article in press" in Eng Frac Mech where we explain the essentials of the implementation and provide a link to the source code for the Abaqus computation. Note that the implementation is limited to 2D and the pre-processing code needed for element subdivision is not provided.
Abaqus, bridge-truck analysis.... help
Hi everyone!
I need advice, I have to carry out a bridge-truck interaction analysis in ABAQUS FOR CATIA. I don´t know where I can start, the thing is that now I´m going to try doing it, in a simplified model in order to don´t loose time.
Can you help me? Can you give me some advices? how to model de truck? I need more or less precission on the bridge not in the truck. I know how to modelice the bridge, the type of element, the meshing, the connectors... but what I don´t know is how to manage Explicit,
Abaqus/Explicit VUMAT tensor components ordering
Hello everyone,
I am coding a VUMAT for Abaqus/Explicit. I was wondering if the tensor components ordering was ALWAYS different from the one used in ABAQUS/Implicit, or if the special ordering was valid only for the C3D8R element.
