Indonesia merupakan negara dengan tingkat kegempaan yang cukup tinggi, sehingga gempa seringkali menimbulkan korban jiwa. Untuk mengurangi jiwa akibat gempa, perlu didesain gedung dapat memenuhi kebutuhan performa struktur seperti kekuatan dan daktilitas. Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBF) adalah salah satu baja daktail cocok digunakan pada daerah rawan gempa. Link EBF umum link horizontal memil...

This paper presents a constitutive model capable of predicting the anisotropic viscoelastic behavior of balloon film subject to large strains and cyclic loading. The model is based on the free volume theory of nonlinear viscoelasticity enhanced with a switching rule for treating loading and unloading differently. The model has been implemented in the finite element analysis program Abaqus/Stand...

Abaqus is often applied to solve geomechanical boundary value problems. Several Abaqus built-in features enable a wide range of simulating such problems. For complex problems Abaqus can be extended via user subroutines. Several extensions for soil mechanics purposes are discussed and corresponding case studies are presented.

externally bonded reinforcement on grooves (ebrog) is a new method that has been introduced to postpone or eliminate debonding of frp sheets from concrete surface in concrete beams strengthened for flexure and increase loading capacity. for strengthening reinforced conceret beams in strructure, use of different types of frp like: laminate, afrp, cfrp, and gfrp. by there is some differences betw...

Engineers from wide ranges of industries face an ever increasing need to run virtual tests to simulate complex models for improving reliability as well as reducing product development time and costs. Abaqus Unified FEA is designed to tackle these challenges by producing high-quality realistic simulation solutions, while delivering high performance in productivity by utilizing efficient use of m...

Due to concerns over particle generation in conventional metal-on-polyethylene hip bearings used in total hip arthroplasty (THA), interest in advanced low-wear bearing alternatives such as ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) couples has reemerged. While ceramics demonstrate excellent compressive strength, the brittle nature of the material reduces tensile strength, possibly leading to catastrophic fractur...

In the development of foam seats, there are many design variables and design requirements to be taken into account. In this context, numerical simulation can be a valuable tool to facilitate this process and shorten its duration by minimizing the number of test specimens built and the number of real tests made. In general, the aim is to predict the response of a seat under certain conditions an...

Over the past three years, BMW has undertaken a significant project to first investigate, then proceed with migration from its present crash simulation software to ABAQUS. This project has been motivated by a growing recognition within BMW that, in order to advance its crash simulation methods, improved robustness in the software employed, along with a greater emphasis on physically-motivated s...

Articular cartilage plays an important role in the function of diarthrodial joints. Computational methods have been used to study the biphasic mechanics of cartilage, and Abaqus has been one of the most widely used commercial software packages for this purpose. A newly developed open-source finite element solver, FEBio, has been developed specifically for biomechanical applications. The aim of ...
