Hi, I am not sure of the reference you mentioned here. The approach shown here is quite standard for an RVE setup for uniaxial loading. The 3 faces were constrained in one axis so that they can contract in the other directions. It is true uniaxial loading. I will expect the results to be different if the boundary conditions are not the same. Please look at a few other publications and see what's going on.

Hello, this is just a different way of imposing loads compared to what you suggested. It is often better to do it this way, as this is a micromechanical study based on an RVE. The chosen RVE represents one-eighth of the quadrant of the actual virtual domain. To simulate effective such an RVE, it is customary to impose loads on 3 free surfaces and attach dirichlet boundary conditions on the 3 other remaining surfaces. I hope the above makes sense.

Hello, unfortunately there is no way getting around the 1000 nodes limit for the student license of ABAQUS. You will have to find a full license to do so. Alternatively, you may then try using a 2D model of dentin and that might not require so much meshing. Since your 3D dentin model will have a lot of irregular geometries, that will lead to high mesh density hence you will easily exceed the 1000 nodal limit of the student license ABAQUS. Sorry, I could not be any more helpful.

Could you please advise how to obtain the dispersion curves of an RVE unit cell in Abaqus?

@MichaelOkereke

Жыл бұрын

Hello @Ha-Linh Nguyen, the concept of dispersion curves arises during dynamic assessment behave of heterogeneous materials or multilayered composites. This is because the differences in effective properties (Modulus and strengths) inside the heterogeneous materials leads to different propagation of wave dynamics within the heterogeneous material. As continuum has to be maintained, such differences in propagation will lead to dispersions of the wave as it hits different materials in the medium. There are a bunch of equations proposed by C. T. Sun in *Continuum Theory for Laminated Medium, Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1968* which helps in tracking this dispersion curves and plotting them. I believe this is the sort of thing you are interested in. Having said all these, I have actually never done this sort of modelling and so will not be able to help you with this query. I will have to research into it, understand it better, implement it before I am able to make a video about it. For now, this is all the help I can offer and good luck with the research.

To undertake correctly PBC on 3D domain as this, you would often need resources not implemented yet in ABAQUS.

I know most users would have not have this, but would want to still undertake this sort of study. So, in effect, the best was was to show what is possible using resources within ABAQUS. I hope the explanation makes sense to you.

Hello, thanks for your kind comments about the channel. I want it to be exactly that, an oasis of good discussion where I get challenged on these questions and hopefully, I am able to provide some kind of guidance to my audience. Regarding your question, of course, yes you can obtain excellent and trustworthy answers using ABAQUS standard Boundary conditions. Those are mainly the Dirichlet or Neumann Boundary conditions and they work quite well. Before the mathematics of PBCs were advanced, most analysis were based on these standard BCs. So, please feel confident to use them for your problem. In fact, for UD composites, many years ago I did a study to compare effective properties for PBC-based analysis and Dirichlet analysis and the results were comparable. You can see the paper here:doi.org/10.1016/j.commatsci.2012.12.036 The requirement for PBCs is important if you are working on a small RVE where the constituents have distinct constitutive behaviours and you have to capture those clearly. It gives a better result as the effect of boundary conditions on homogenized results is minimal where PBCs are involved compared to the other types. However, there is still confidence in the other approach. If you are not able to implement PBCs for unsymmetric meshes (as this is quite challenging, I am working on a code that can help), then do not worry, it is okay and trustworthy going with ABAQUS standard BCs.

Hello Karan, thanks for your interest in the video. Actually, the 10% is chosen randomly, just to get an idea about how the model will respond. Because I am doing a microscale analysis, where the matrix is explicitly modelled as an elastoplastic material (without damage included), then it is bound to show significant plastic deformation. It makes sense then to go for a higher displacement of 10% as against about 3% for most composites. To do the later however, we need to have a damage model included in the simulation so that we can predict experimentally recoverable data. I hope the explanation makes sense and that is what you are asking about.

Thanks for the query. If you do as suggested i.e. extract history outputs (say S11 and E11) from the nodal set on say XFront, you will still get a result without the reference point approach that I used here. The limitation here is that it will be only giving you the history outputs on those XFront sets which is not representative of the full model. It will not be an accurate stress-strain plot. This is because of the heterogeneous nature of the virtual domain. The best approach is to extract all the stress and strain for all elements in the domain and homogenize over them. This can work but the problem is that for a heavily meshed domain under consideration, you will have to write a lot of history variables to memory of the computer. ABAQUS typically runs out of history output memories once you have more than 10,000 history data. This is a problem and this is why I used this method as it requires only

If I use a direct application of displacement on the face, then my history variables will be too much and so unable to generate the stress-strain graphs. As regards comparing it with some other type of loading, what do you have in mind. I will need some further explanations.

I think what you are suggesting is to use the same implementation but for thermomechanical analysis. If so, then yes, it is possible.

As regards how you do the mechancial temperature-dependent response, you are right, some people would have to specify a range of Young's Modulus which change with temperature. It will be a reference/look up table that the simulation will use to know what do do as temperature change during the simulation. I hope these ideas help.

Hello @Sandy, thanks for your interest in the channel. For shear modulus you simply have to follow the same approach but of course change the boundary conditions to make sure you are simulating shear responses in I believe you mean YZ and XZ planes. For example if it is Shear YZ you are simulating, then you are simulating shear on the plane where Y-axis is the outward pointing normal and the shear forces are oriented along the Z-axis. Therefore, for this you need to extract shear force, RF3 (z-axis reaction force) and divide this by the area of the YZ plane where the shear force acts. This will give you a shear behaviour. I have made videos where such shear cases were investigated.

I certainly think it will, but the right mechanical behaviour will involve having some kind of matrix media (no matter how thin in-between the two closest fibres). If there is a requirement for fibres touching, then I will suggest you incorporate some kind of contact mechanics which will mean during loading, when fibres touch, there is effective load transfer between the interacting fibres. This is technically the right approach but it is computationally very expensive as your contact will be All contacts which will cause the simulation to take too long. Alternatively, you can bind the fibres to the matrices in node-to-node coupling which might mean you do not have to deal with contact effects. It is my long-winded way of answering the question to say, generally it will work with contact mechanics between touching fibres inclue but no, as this is a very computationally expensive way to study such composites.

Hello @Ashfakur, Your observations are right. If you use force, it will be overwritten by the underlying kinematic constraint equations involving displacements only. I think this is what's going on here. On converting from force to displacement, you can use the force displacement equation for a uniaxially loaded system where the equation to use is: Displacement, D = FL/AE Where F = Concentrated force, L Edge length of RVE, A = Surface area and E = Youngs Modulus. Good luck with this.

Sir, if there presents two type of fibers and one matrix in the system , what will be the value of E ? Which Young Modulus should we take as the value of E? Or, how can we calculate the value of E?

@MichaelOkereke

You have to use all to something like this E = Ef1Vf1 + Ef2Vf2 + EmVm. The Ef's are for the two fibre phases. Thanks.

Sir, first of all I would like to thank you to your video. I wanna ask a question for you. Now, I am working on blast loading responce of a plate (only plate, not any fiber). I did some analysis via Abaqus. But I have a error. My error was; Excessive incremental rotation of the elements in element set ErrElemExcessIncrementalRotation-Step1. There is only one element with excessive rotations. After I took this error, I increased my mesh elements number. But after this, I took another error. Now my error is this; Element 21, node-1: the distance between the node and the source of the explosion is smaller than the charge radius (5.30000E-02). The CONWEP model is not valid at this distance. What can you say about my error? How can I fix this error? Best regards

Hello @Ali, great that you were able to solve the first problem. I think the second problem is due to the location of the charge that you are using in the CONWEP system. I will suggest you increase it and check to see if the second error is still happening. For example, it is saying the charge radius is 0.053 (I assume that is meters), hence you may have to increase it to 0.150 and see if that improves it. Do not that the further away the charge is from the plate (i.e the location of the explosive), the lesser the impact the charge/explosive will have on the plate so you cannot just increase it arbitrarily. A rule I normally will follow is to start with a distance as far back as the half the edge length of square plate and then possibly reduce or increase it depending on the deflection you see on the plate. If you have an experimental data you are working with, then no guess work here, simply use the distace specified in the experiment. Good luck. Here is a paper that might help you: doi.org/10.1016/j.ijimpeng.2011.02.005

Sir, I'm facing another problem right now. I've several questions: 1. I've taken the length of the RVE in meter (m). What will be the unit of Stress before multiplying by 1 * e^ -6 as you've done in this video at 47:50? 2. What will be the unit for the Force (F) and the Displacement (D) in F-D curve whenever I'm taking the length, width & height in meter unit? (In this video u can find it at 47:04) 3. During stress calculation you've multiplied 100*100. Are they width*height or, length*width or, what? (In this video u can find it at 47:28) 4. You've taken the length, height & width in micrometer but in this video at 47:47 , during stress calculation you've calculated the stress as Pascal and then you've converted it to Megapascal. Was it correct whenever you calculated the stress unit as Pascal? I'm a liitle bit confused about that because Nm^-2 represents Pascal but in your case the measurements were in micrometer! Kindly help me by answering all 4 questions sir.

Hello @Fernanda Lima, thanks for the comment. The current version of MontCarlGen2D software that you refer to only produces 2D RVEs. The clue is in the name and there is a clear information about this on the purchase page on the site. A future development of the code will allow for recreating 3D RVEs as you refer to in this video however that version of the code is not available yet. The essence of this current video is to show how you can manually do this without needed a code for now but I do understand the ease that comes with having such a code for 3D domains but that will come in the future. Good luck with the work.

Dear Sir, In case IV-model (Shear-XY), from which value we will draw the plot: RF1, U2 or RF2, U2 or RF2, U2? Kindly help.

@MichaelOkereke

2 жыл бұрын

Hello @Adarsh Shah, since you are looking at plotting for Shear on XY plane, it means that the deformation you are looing at is on the plane where X- axis is the outward acting normal and the direction of shear is along the Y-axis. Therefore, the reaction forces you should be looking at is the RF2 which is reaction due to displacement in the 2 or Y-axis. The shear deformation will be defined by the U2 displacement which is basically y-axis displacement. So, the correct variables are RF2 versus U2 to give you shear Tau12 versus Gamma12. Hope this makes sense.
