    The issue of the computation of the deformation gradient in Abaqus

    First of all let me tell you how i compute the deformation gradient. I wrote a UVARM subroutine in which i call the deformation gradient. Throughout the rest of this comment this is the deformation gradient i am refering to. You can see below what i a talking about: CALL...

    The issue of the computation of the deformation gradient in Abaqus

    Hi everybody, I am trying to model an anisotropic hyperelastic material in plane stress under uniaxial tension where W=Wiso +Wani= C10*(I1-3)+C4*(I4-1)2 . When the load is parallel or perpendicular to the fiber direction, the deformation gradient returned by Abaqus matches the theoretical...

    Crack propagattion and Cohesive Elements in Abaqus

    Hi, According to you the damage criterion is not met. I am going to work on this using SDEG. My last question is more about the geometry itself. Indeed i just created one single geometry that i partitioned to account for the interface. So i basically created one single part. Should i create...

    Crack propagattion and Cohesive Elements in Abaqus

    Hello, I have been working for two days on my model and i made some progress in the process of understanding "crack propagation" modeling in Abaqus but i didn't get what i was looking for. Indeed no crack propagation occured ...Frown The idea is to define the crack tip as the zone where...

    Crack propagattion and Cohesive Elements in Abaqus

    Hi, I took your advice. For the rubber part i defined an elastic behaviour (small strain problem) and a Solid Homogeneous section that i assigned to the bottom and top parts. Then i defined a second material: - Elastic --> Traction (E=200 000 Abaqus Unit System, Poisons's ration = 0.45) -...

    Crack propagattion and Cohesive Elements in Abaqus

    Here is a picture of the model with an interface sketched to account for the crack path. Regards, Malikhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=3f45b35c-ac7a-4e4f-aa10-b95170289a66&file=Diapositive2.JPG

    Crack propagattion and Cohesive Elements in Abaqus

    Hi everybody, I read up more on "crack propagation" and "cohesive elements" in Abaqus. But i am still struggling to make it run and frankly i am running out of time. I have got only two more days to get the model running... I recall the problem that i want to simulate: A piece of rubber...

    How to simulate static crack propagation in Abaqus?

    Sorry i forgot to attach the pictures: http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=9e2ff19e-902e-4cd6-a8c7-1908760b0236&file=Diapositive2.JPG;http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=9e2ff19e-902e-4cd6-a8c7-1908760b0236&file=Diapositive2.JPG

    Hi, I read up more on "crack propagation" and "cohesive elements" in Abaqus. But i am still struggling to make it run and frankly i am running out of time. I recall the problem that i want to simulate: A piece of rubber (hyperelastic neo-hokean) material is subjected to static uniaxial...

    How to simulate static crack propagation in Abaqus?

    Dear Amubashar, How can i make use of these types of elements to simulate "crack propagation"? To be honest i never used such elements but according to you they might be useful to me. What are "cohesive zone elements" regarding crack propagation? I aim at modeling a rubber material...

    How to simulate static crack propagation in Abaqus?

    Hi everybody, I am trying to simulate crack propagation in rubber material. As you can see in the attached pictures, i aim at trying to propagate the crack along the horizontal line. I have browsed through the help and found out that ther is a feature called "Debond" that permits crack...

    Problem modeling a seam in 3D

    Hi, I am trying to model a penny shape crack in a 3D model (see pictures attached in the Power Point Presentation). To sketch the crack I use the "Shell ---> Revolve" featured function" of Abaqus. Indeed I sketched a line that I revolved (by a 360 angle) with respect to the axis of revolution...

    How to define and compute a contour integral of output variables?

    Hi everybody, I would like to create a contour and compute the contour integral of the Eshelby Tensor (computed through a UVARM subroutine) along that path (see attached picture). Here are my questions: 1 -- Is it possible to define a contour in Abaqus so that Abaqus will be able to identify...
