    Nitinol Beam

    Hi, every body! (the main problem is in the analysis of a stent. But here I simplify the problem) I have modeled a nitinol cantilever beam in Abaqus(dynamic-explicit). At the end of the beam, I have a displacement control which pushes down the end. And at the end of the loading step, the...

    Nitinol Beam

    Yes, you are all right. But this is a simplified version of my question. My actual problem is a stent. When the stent is crimped (compacted) the behavior of Nitinol is fine. But when it is released, it's elements detach and the stent explodes. So to check Nitinol response, I decided to model a...

    Nitinol Beam

    Hi everybody, I have modeled a cantilever beam with material properties of Nitinol, in Abaqus CAE.(VUMAT) There is a displacement control and pushes the end of the beam downward. In the first step the BC is exerted and then in the second one, it is released. The simulation works well by any...
