Hello!
While conducting a direct cyclic analysis, is it required to establish a static step before the cyclic step? If so, why should we use the static step and what conditions should be set up then?
Hello there!
I am conducting a simple simulation where I have placed 2 plates of equal dimension and thickness one upon another. I have pinned one corner and restricted motion in the z direction for the edge faces. I have applied an equal shear load on all the edge faces for both the top and...
Hello there!
I am attempting to conduct a delamination study of a square composite plate with a hole using the VCCT technique. I chose the VCCT because I intend on doing a low cycle fatigue analysis of the model later on. I had attempted this technique on a double cantilever beam problem with...
Hello there!
I have been trying to model a crack propagation problem for quite some time now. I have taken a simple double cantilever beam as my problem of consideration. I am using a direct cyclic step and using VCCT debonding for modelling the crack. I have applied loads such that the double...
