Recently, experimental and theoretical studies about nonlinear behavior of large concrete structures are in progress. The purpose of this study is to describe the nonlinear behavior of a concrete specimen under compression using several plastic models and to choose the best plastic model for later use in numerical analyses of concrete structures. ABAQUS is a general-purpose FEM program and we tested all suitable embedded material models for concrete. To verify the effectiveness of nonlinear analyses, results were compared with uniaxial and triaxial compression test results.

In this paper, wrinkling behavior for anisotropic membrane was studied. The analyses were done by using membrane elements and the wrinkling was accounted for by the penalty parameter modified material modeling which was implemented to ABAQUS as a user subroutine. The wrinkle model was applied to corner-loaded square membranes in which the effect of the diameter of steel pin, edge cut-off length and the magnitude of shear moduli on the wrinkling was investigated.

본 논문에서는 해상풍력발전기와 선박의 충돌시 타워와 기초보강재의 거동에 대하여 연구하였다. 풍력발전기는 5MW급 풍력발전기를 나셀, 타워, 보강재, 바닥판, 기초로 나누어서 모델링 하였다. 나셀은 집중질량으로 타워의 상부에 위치하였고 타워, 보강재, 바닥판은 탄소성거동을 한다고 가정하여 Shell 요소로 모델링 하였다. 선박은 풍력발전기와 마찬가지로 탄소성거동을 한다고 가정하였고 실제모델에 대해 풍력발전기와의 정면충돌로 고려하였으며, 충돌속도는 2.0m/sec로 가정하였다. 선박과 풍력발전기의 충돌 해석은 비선형 해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS/Explicit을 이용하여 수행하였으며, 이를 통하여 선박충돌시 타워와 보강재의 거동을 분석하였다. 해석결과 타워에서 대부분의 에너지를 소산하는 것으로 나타났다.

The extensive use of honeycomb sandwich structures has led to the need to understand and analyze their low velocity impact response. Commercially available finite element software provides a possible analysis tool for this type of problem, but the validity of their material properties models for honeycomb materials must be investigated. Three different problems that focus on the effect of differences in honeycomb material properties on static and dynamic response are presented and discussed. The first problem considered is a linear elastic static analysis of honeycomb sandwich beams. The second is a nonlinear elastic-plastic analysis of a circular honeycomb sandwich plate. The final problem is a dynamic analysis of circular honeycomb sandwich plates impacted by low velocity projectiles. Results are obtained using the ABAQUS final element code and compared against experimental results. The comparison indicates that currently available material properties models for honeycomb materials can be used to obtain a good approximation of the behavior of honeycomb sandwich structures under static and dynamic loading conditions.

When ultrasound propagates to a crack, transmitted and reflected waves are generated. These waves have useful information for the detection of the crack lying in a structure. In this paper, using finite element analysis, displacements round a inclined crack were obtained for 4 different inclination angles. Fourier transformation is applied to the results to research the frequency characteristics depending on the various locations around the crack. 2-dimensional plane stress model is considered, and finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit is used.

In order to develop the reduced tire modal model for analyzing a full tire model, the Craig-Bampton method is utilized in this paper. When the tire contacts the road, the Abaqus solver extracts the condensed stiffness, coupled mass and mode shape matrix about the node, which contacts the road. The Abaqus full tire model is reduced using the substructure method utilizing Craig-Bampton algorithm. Then, the extracted matrices are interfaced with the superelement, which is fed to the Nastran reduction algorithm. Eventually, the reduced tire model is verified from experiment and various reduction parameters (i.e. modal number, reduction point, etc.) are studied for the effectiveness of the proposed paper.

This paper deals with a new designed joint system for single-layer spatial structures. As the stability of these structures is greatly influenced by the joint behaviour, the aim of this paper is the characterization of the joint response in bending through Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis using ABAQUS. The behaviour of the joints studied here was influenced by many geometrical factors, such as bolts and plate sizes, distance between bolts and end-plate thickness. The study comprised five models of joints with different values of those parameters. The numerical results were compared to the results of previous experimental tests and the agreement was good enough. The differences between the numerical and experimental initial stiffness are attributed to the simplifications introduced when modelling the bolt threads as well as the presence of residual stresses in the test specimens.

One of various main jobs in the design of a new tactical vehicle is to develop the lightest chassis parts satisfying the required durability target. In this study, the analytic methods to reduce the size and weight of a lower control arm and chassis frame of a Korean light tactical vehicle are presented. Topology optimization by ATOM (Abaqus Topology Optimization Module) is applied to find the optimal design of the suspension arm with volume and displacement constraints satisfied. In case of chassis frame, the light-weight optimization process associated with design sensitivity method is developed using Isight and ABAQUS. By these analytic methods we can provide design engineers with guides to where and how much the design changes should be made.

In this paper, ABAQUS, one of the implicit finite element codes, is used to analyze the U-channel Draw benchmark problem of NUMISHEET 2005. Forming and springback stages have been done consecutively to compare their results with the experimental ones. The main measures for comparing are the side wall curl and angle. The result by numerical analysis are shown generally to be correspondent with the experimental results that the max. error is confined under about 10%.

It was observed that after unloading or removal of the load from the specimen subjected to bending stress, partial or full elastic spring back occurred and considerable stresses have resulted while plastic deformation was considered. ABAQUS is a suite of powerful engineering simulation programs, based on the finite element method. In this paper, it was used as the main tool to analyze elastic and plastic deformations of hi-material metal joint. In the case of elastic deformations, the results were comparable to the theoretical data. Plastic deformations and residual stresses of hi-material metal joint under bending moment were obtained by ABAQUS; where the theory needs to be studied and improved further to verify the results.
