Crash-dynamics research has always concentrated significantly in the safety, survivability of passengers a car crash. To identify capability energy absorption crash box, thin-walled structure will be modeled and simulated by ABAQUS software. Investigate influence material, cross-sectional, thickness factors on capacity tube, using MCDM – Multi-Criteria Decision-Making to get best option testing...

Abstract Rectangular columns used in flat-slab structures run the risk of punching shear damage due to stress concentrations, especially when bending moments and vertical forces act together at connections. Using finite element analysis method, existing experiments are numerically simulated using 3D modeling software ABAQUS, describe cracking behavior concrete damaged plasticity model. The accu...

An alternative remeshing methodology for 3D Abaqus explicit analyses which utilizes mesh mapping is presented. Excessive element distortion in 3D large deformation analyses necessitates remeshing, however in Abaqus explicit, the standard 3D remeshing techniques limits the analyst’s choice of element type. The presented technique allows remeshing of 3D perfectly plastic fully integrated higher o...

In this paper, we introduce an implementation of the extended finite element method for fracture problems within the finite element software ABAQUSTM. User subroutine (UEL) in Abaqus is used to enable the incorporation of extended finite element capabilities. We provide details on the data input format together with the proposed user element subroutine, which constitutes the core of the finite ...

Initial development of a multiscale progressive damage and failure analysis tool for laminated composite structures is presented. The method models microdamage at the lamina level with the thermodynamically based Schapery Theory. Transverse cracking and ber breakage, considered failure mechanisms in this work, are modeled with failure criteria evaluate at the micro-constituent level using the G...

using computation software to simulate fracture behaviors of structures can shorten the time to estimate safety of engineering structures and reduce a lot of cost of experiment. However three dimensional numerical simulation for fracture process is a challenging issue, because the convergence and accuracy are not easily obtained and high computational cost is generated. In this paper, three new...

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...
