This paper presents the results obtained by numerical simulation regarding springback phenomenon of a U-shaped part manufactured from tailor welded stripes. The final shape of the formed part is seriously affected by springback phenomenon. This paper work is trying to prove the important role the metal sheet thickness on the springback effect. The U-shaped part has different springback values f...

Abstract Using the ABAQUS software, this article presents a numerical investigation on effects of various stud distributions behavior composite beams. A total 24 continuous 2-span beam samples with span length 1 m were examined (concrete slab at top and steel I-section bottom). The concrete used is made reactive powder compressive strength 100.29 MPa. depth each sample was 0.220 m. separated in...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to develop a more realistic finite element (FE) model of the human anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tibial insertion and to analyze the stress distribution in the ACL internal fibers under load. METHODS The ACL tibial insertions were processed histologically. With Photoshop software, digital images taken from the histological slides were collaged, co...

The paper proposes a novel staggered phase-field framework for modelling brittle and ductile fractures in monotonic cyclic loading regimes. algorithm consists of two mesh layers (displacement phase field) single special-purpose, user-defined finite element, which controls global convergence the coupled problem passing solution variables between layers. proposed is implemented into FE software A...

Ground cylindrical steel fluid storage tanks are widely used in different industries. Regarding the significance of these structures, it is important to establish their proper performance in earthquakes by evaluating their seismic performance. The present study examines the seismic behavior of an unanchored fluid storage system via ABAQUS after validation using an experimental model. Next, the ...

This paper focuses on modeling the time-varying stiffness of spur gearings, which in dynamic models transmission systems acts as an important element internal excitation system. Here are introduced ways to approach gear using analytical calculations, allow model course mesh depending its rotation. For verification used were created five different and based their geometry, respective curves anal...

This article presents two applications of the nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) using ABAQUS/Standard with a user developed material subroutine Nitinol UMAT from Abaqus West. The analyses are found to agree well with the theoretical prediction and/or experimental measurement. In that first example, FEA predicts the stress-strain response of a superelastic Nitinol device at different Af te...

In the present paper, the modal analysis on a full finite element model of an off-road vehicle. This vehicle was modeled in the CATIA software and then meshed in the HYPERMESH software. The free vibration analysis was conducted by the ABAQUS software. By applying an external displacement, the forced vibration analysis was also performed. As a result, natural frequencies and shape modes were ext...

In this paper reinforced concrete beam column joint is modelled and analyzed using ABAQUS software to compare the simulated results with experimental study. The most critical important part of multi-story frames or buildings when they are subjected earthquake loading. research for two different types non-linear analysis that static a dynamic visual comparison
