research

Hi all,

For my research I am using Abaqus 6.12 combined with XFEM crack propagation and direct cyclic analysis to asses the failure of bridge connections due to high cycle fatigue. Once propagation of an initially defined crack occurs I would like to plot the crack length at specific number of cycles. Is there an output request that can be specified that will measure that length of the crack as it moves through the simulation?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Hai, i am doing the robot silmulation in ADAMS View,now i struck in defining the math function to simulate the robot in 6 DOF/ workspace,, please tell me how to build spline function for different joints @ simultaneus.

Dear all.

I'm currently doing some research concerning crack path prediction in brittle thin film.

But I'm struggled to find efficient way to do it.

In reality my case: stress is higly confined within semi infinite narrow rectangular strip patten and out of this rectangular, stress is very low or near 0 compared to stress within the pattern. Crack starts from left side end and propagates within pattern toward right end side of pattern. Crack show wavy propagation behavior with regular period and amplitude. 

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to model a 2D orthogonal cutting by Abaqus by using ALE method. I have some distortion of mesh in front of the cuuting noise so I try to define an eulerian surfaces around the cutting noise. 

Can somebody help me to find about the convergence rate of MLS shape function?
