how can enter the effect of friction in crack surface in abaqus

Submitted by aapaaapa on Fri, 07/25/2014 - 17:53

Hi everyone,

I want to model friction in crack surface and investigate the effect of it in my modeling. I want to do it in abaqus.

thanks.

Imperfection in a Riks Analysis (ABAQUS)

ABAQUS

Eigen Buckling; Nonlinear Buckling ;

I am performing a nonlinear post buckling using Riks method. I went through different tutorials for the same. I happen to see that an *IMPERFECTION is introduced while performing the non linear buckling analysis.Why is it done? How does/will the model react differently if the Imperfection is no introduced?

I wish to plot the graph of load v/s displacement for 1,2,3,4...10 times the critical buckling load during the post buckling analysis (Riks method). How do I do that?

modeling analysis of microstructure phase transformation in an alloy

Submitted by aapaaapa on Fri, 07/25/2014 - 06:45

Hi every one,

I need to modeling a thermal analysis of a microstructure of steel or other alloy by FEM or XFEM. so i need some metallurgical data for phase transformation.for example at which temperature or time martensit converts to austenit or etc. I also need how I can model this microstructure in abaqus that has change in boundries due to phase transformation. i appreciate if someone help me.

thanks

Modelling of Dislocation-Microstructure Interaction at a Short Crack Tip

This project aims to model dislocation-microstructure interaction at a crack tip and associated short crack growth for nickel alloys.

You will join the vibrant Mechanics of Advanced Materials group at Loughborough (www.lboro.ac.uk/moam) which has gained significant experience in the study of mechanical behaviour of advanced materials.

could someone tell me some equation to get the critical stress for delamination in multilayers?

Thanks,

Question on Fatigue crack growth C and m Paris Law

Submitted by Rem on Wed, 07/23/2014 - 06:04

Fatigue crack growth

paris law

Are m and C in the paris law equation dependant on the material property or geometry?

For example if using the same material with different thickness, do the C and m values change? For clarity assume centre notched plates, with different plate thicknesses but same material (steel or aluminium).

I appreciate your time.
