Electroencephalography (EEG) is used to obtain information about the electrical activity in the brain and is routinely used to diagnose neurological abnormalities. The inverse problem in EEG refers to the procedure of locating electrical sources in the brain from the extracranial electrical field measured on the scalp. The solution of the inverse problem requires the forward calculation of the ...

The structural analyses contained in this report were carried out under the direction of the National Transportation Safety Board Modeling Group with the participation of Professor Toshio Nakamura through an external contract with the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Added resources and expertise were acquired through a subcontract with Dassault Systèmes Simulia Corporation for assi...

Coiled tubing is used in a variety of oil well operations including drilling, completions, and remedial activities. For each of these applications coiled tubing offers the benefits of reduced costs, speed, and reduced environmental impact. Coiled tubing possesses a limitation however, in that it may buckle in service. In this situation the tubing may be damaged, and operations may be delayed or...

This paper describes a numerical solution for plane elasticity problem. It includes algorithms for discretization by mixed finite element methods. The discrete scheme allows the utilization of Brezzi Douglas Marini element (BDM1) for the stress tensor and piecewise constant elements for the displacement. The numerical results are compared with some previously published works or with others comi...

Assumption of a linear elastic system under static loading is questionable for structural response analysis of pavement-subgrade systems under dynamic nondestructive testing and moving wheel loads, especially if a deteriorated pavement is under study. Presented are the results of a parametric study using the three-dimensional finite element ABAQUS code; it investigates the effects of pavement d...

ABAQUS provides the-state-of-the-art capabilities in hyperelastic modeling of rubber and other isotropic elastomers. Practical interest, however, is often focused on anisotropic elastomer-like materials (e.g., bio-tissues, cord-rubber composites, reinforced polymers, etc.) where properties in various directions are significantly different. The present paper considers a general constitutive mode...

In this study, the hydrogen transport phenomenon was numerically evaluated by using hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) mechanisms. Two dominant governing equations, namely, the hydrogen transport model and the elasto-plastic model, were introduced. In addition, the implicitly formulated equations of the governing equations were implemented into ABAQUS UMAT user-defined subroutines. T...

The automotive industry has increased significantly the use of advanced high strength steels (AHSS) in many structural components, with the aim to reduce weight and also to increase safety. The high resistance of these steels is accompanied by a decrease in formability, which makes simulation a requirement to adequately foresee the formability of a particular stretch formed component. This work...

Abstract: The latest release of Abaqus version 6.10 includes Abaqus/CFD. The inclusion of this software makes it possible for users to perform a fluid analysis in a more user-friendly manner. Independent single software solely for CFD is currently available from many developers, and many attempts have been made to link software of CFD to structural analysis system using some specific procedures...
