Hi everyone,
I have to use an hysteretic friction model. I am trying to code this in Abaqus by using the FRIC subroutine. The language is Fortran 77.
I am testing my code on a very simple model : two plates sliding on eachother. I apply a 1 cycle sinus displacement at the end of one plate and...
Hello,
I am having trouble with some contact model. I am studying a simple case = elastic cylinder over rigid plane.
The normal load is a uniform negative normal displacement at the upper end of the cylinder. The tangential load is an in-plane displacement applied at the same location...
Hello Bartosz,
thanks a lot for your reply it is very helpful. I understand now.
But I still I don't understand why the contact zone is larger than the cylinder diameter...Do you have any idea ?
Hello,
I am training on a simple model to understand how contact works in Abaqus. You can see the model and the mesh on the imgaes.
It is an elastic cylinder on a rigid plane. I apply a uniform pressure on the top of the cylinder. The contact is defined like this : hard direct for normal...
