How can we see load dipslacement cyrve of residual stressed material. I mean I m interested in extracting indentation properties from ABAQUS for material which has got some pre stress in terms of residual stress. What is procedure of assigning residual stress to some material in ABAQUS?

The time reduction has two methods, including hardware technique based and software technique based.

For hardware based method, you can use an independent timer to trigger off the counter to measure the number of speed pulses in a suitable frequency, such as 1MHz. In that case, the time interval you obtained is so small that it apporaches to zero.

Instantaneous Angular Speed (IAS) is investigated for last 10 years in Condition Monitoring. The content of IAS is coming from angular speed. If the time taken is reduced apporaching to zero, we can measure the angle travelled to extract IAS, or if the angle travelled is reduced to zero, we can measure the time elapsed to extract IAS.
