    Polar moment of area offset axis

    Is Jp always Ixx+Iyy? I have two square steel sections offset from y-axis, the x-axis goes through neutral axis on both. I want to find the second moment of area, and I'm a bit unsure...

    Over compression

    If somehow I have a rubber which is under a state of over compression and I apply more pressure to it. How can I determine the failure mode? Shear, tensile, energy consumption? Which? And when do I know I am in a state of over compression?

    Logarithmic stress strain

    If I base an optimization study from engineering stress strain to make true stress strain curve, is it only valid up to UTS? Also, when calculating poison ratio, I get 10e4 result?! It should be close to 0.3 I have based my data from metric...

    true stress strain

    In order to do plasticity analysis on metals, you need to put in the correct data in abaqus. So far, I have an example from Simuleon website and Dowling (Mechanical behaviour of materials, 4th edition). I find the very high values very strange, can someone explain? See attached file... I am...

    Poisson ratio

    Hi, all. Is it possible to derive poisson ratio purely from uniaxial stress strain response?

    Multiple springs and masses system

    OK, I have the M and the K matrices already defined, I just need a little help refreshing my memory from university... BC's: x_i for al masses, v_i and a_i = 0. Also final position of one of the masses...

    Multiple springs and masses system

    For my application, the forces are released before a full endstop, so time?!

    Multiple springs and masses system

    It is under static precompression both in initial state and after it is released, so the "free mass" hits a boundary after a couple of mm. So the equations is easily set up, I just don't know how to solve them to get velocity, accelleration...

    Multiple springs and masses system

    I have this mass spring system consisting of 4 masses and 4 springs. It is preloaded, and I want to know the velocity on the "free" side of the system at a certain point. Also would be interesting to know the remaining forces when that mass hit the end...

    Mooney Rivlin hyperelastic material failure

    How do you set the nodal or integration point as the value of interest? Anyway, I would assume that the integration points would be close to the nodal results, I don't think the gradient is extreme in my case. When it comes to hyperelastic material definition, it is true that it is defined by...

    Mooney Rivlin hyperelastic material failure

    Hi, all. I have defined a mooney rivlin material in abaqus, with a predefined set of points to elongation at break. However, I experience the material to take up more stress than what the material is capable of, based on a uniaxial stress strain curve. The stress state is triaxial, although the...

    Pressure Penetration load not overcoming surace pressure

    I have loaded a rubber with a pressure penetration at 34.5 MPa. However, the surface will not separate from each other, although the surface pressure lies in the region of 11 MPa. Only the node which are picked from the pressure penetration dialogue box are affected. The solution converges just...
