I am using ABAQUS 6.9 and would like to apply a residual stress region on 2D Plate in a specific section.
I am trying to enter a compressive stress = -200E06 to a set called set-1. I read online that to apply a stress to a set the following must be entered:
*INITIAL CONDITIONS, type=stress...
i have the exact same issue that i need resolved, i have a residual stress profile through the thickness of a specimen.
it would be interesting to see what you come up with.
hey just reviewed this thread and had a quick question.
i am using XFEM in a 2D analysis and would like to get the SIFs however, the history outputs are not available for crack growth in XFEM.
how do i do this? for some reason ABAQUS doesnt allow me to uncheck crack growth when i choose...
i am trying to model crack propagation in ABAQUS using the crack length vs time parameter and COD.
However i dont know how to enter this into ABAQUS. the manual states the following:
Set TYPE=CRACK LENGTH to specify the crack length as a function of time. This setting is available only in...
Thanks n3l3 for the quick response i will look into it.
i have another question that i know is possible in ABAQUS. i would like propagate a crack through the specimen using the J-Integral method under a varying load (mean stress being = 0MPa and stress range = 20 MPa), are there any tutorials...
Firstly, i am pretty new to ABAQUS but understand the basic Engineering principles behind fatigue/fracture mechanics. I have also reviewed the ABAQUS Manuals but its not much help without examples.
Thus far, i have modeled a 2D plate with an edge crack under a static load and have compared SIF...
