Bulk Viscosity parameter iin Abaqus

Submitted by manasvi.mani on Sun, 02/10/2013 - 13:09

Hi,

I am working on a nonlinear contact problem with Abaqus. One of the parts

involved in the complete model is very small and as its behaviour needs to

be studied when it interacts with other parts it is modelled with pretty

smaller elements as compared to other parts in the model. When I do a Dynamic explicit

analysis then the time increment which Abaqus calculates from an Element by

element estimate is of the order 1e-8 due to that very small part. I did

cyclic loading

Hi colleague

can you help me to define a cyclic load of 1 kN (120 cycle per min ) in Abaqus?

does it diifrent to use static or dynamic analysis?

Thanks.

These notes may serve as a reminder of tensor algebra. The notes supplement the course on advanced elasticity. Several books are listed at the end of the notes.

Update on 17 April. I am now breaking up the notes on tensors, cleaning them up, and posting them as sections on linear algebra.
