I am working on the vibratory simulation of engin cooling system. Now
i want to add the component of rubber isolators , the idea is to add
the spring element ,we have tested the dynamic stiffness during range
of 5-100HZ , i konw that in ANSYS we can use the matrix 27 element to define the dynamic stiffness ,but how can i set the values in abaqus or inp files.

Thanks for your helps!

Modelling RC component with ABAQUS considering bond-slip.

Hello, all

I am trying to model a corroded beam under loading considering bond-slip effects. Following is the methods i used,

  • FRACTION

           I define the interface between the reinforcement and the concrete, then i added fraction and give the fraction coefficient. However without vetical force, the fraction coefficient is useless. I also define the shear limit which brings no improvement too. So i give up this solution.
