I am working on steel bolted angles connection, my issue is when I mesh the flange thickness of the beam and column I got a very different curve from same model when the flange thickness not meshed...
I am trying to model the damage evolution in a bolted connection in Abaqus with element deletion option. I have the stress-strain data for the bolt but not sure how to extract the required inputs necessary to model the damage or the fracture in the bolt. Below is a short explination for how I...
i have a model for steel bolted connection , the load is acting as a displacement on the edge of the beam
firstly, the p delata curve steel increasing with time without any decline as per experimental test , any solution ?
secondly, intial stiffness not matching with experiment
thank...
